Pierluigi Collina on the Champions League Final 1999


 Pierluigi Collina on the Champions League Final 1999:

"It was the last two minutes, I see the Bayern players on the bench getting ready to celebrate on the title, the fans in the stadium a happy their team will be crowned Champions League champions.


Suddenly Manchester scored two goals in two minutes, and turning things around, I will never forget the England team exploding loudly As if they were roaring lions, while the silence was like a funeral in the Bayern stands.


The Manchester United players celebrated their second goal in hysterics, I saw the Bayern players completely shrouded in despair fall to the ground and very disappointed.


I approached him, and had nothing to say to him other than "Get up and fight, you still have 20 seconds!!".


In that moment I saw the true face of football, death and life in one stadium, people celebrating madly and people desperate to the point of death".
