Manchester United haven’t had any glorious European nights in the last few years having failed to qualify for the Champions League in two of the last three.

However, Old Trafford has seen its fair share of drama in the continental tournament over the years and on this day, 18 years ago, it was treated to a thriller.

United played out an exciting 3-3 draw at home to Spanish giants Barcelona in the group stages on their way to that historic treble.
