When Yorke took centre stage in Europe

Twenty-five years ago, Manchester United had escaped the Group of Death and were handed a tough quarter-final tie in the UEFA Champions League with the impressive Italian side Internazionale.

Much of the pre-match hype centred around David Beckham's reunion with Diego Simeone after the spat at the previous year's World Cup finals, which led to the England midfielder being vilified and abused for much of the campaign by opposing fans. It may be fair to say most Reds were not too concerned with this sideshow, for all of the attention, but more focused on United proving we were capable of winning the trophy for the first time since 1968.
