Cole's Nou Camp goal was poetry in motion

Manchester United and Barcelona had already shared six goals at Old Trafford two months earlier, and the sides met again at the Nou Camp for a second encounter in what was known as ''the Group of Death" in that season's Champions League. The scoreline would, ultimately, be the same, but one of the strikes will live forever in the memory of any Reds fan who witnessed it.

There had been signs that Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole could form a deadly partnership, but this was the moment the duo revealed a rare telepathic understanding that would propel Alex Ferguson’s team towards unprecedented glory.
