David Beckham revealed the one feeling from his trophy-laden Manchester United career he’ll never get to experience again.

The Red Devils legend won 10 major honours in the 11 years he spent at Old Trafford. He created plenty of winning memories throughout United’s dominance under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Among all the trophy lifts and the adulation that came with it, there was one overwhelming feeling that ranked above all for the Inter Miami owner – and that was the Champions League triumph of 1999.
In perhaps the most thrilling end to a European final ever, United scored twice in stoppage time to defeat Bayern Munich 2-1 to claim a title they last won in 1968.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s winner, which occurred after Teddy Sheringham’s equaliser, sent Ferguson’s men into a state of euphoria after the dramatic triumph.

And during the new 99 documentary that is exclusively available on Prime Video from today (Friday, May 17), Beckham admitted that he yearns for that same feeling, 25 years on.

“I want that feeling again, I can never have that again, I will never have that feeling again,” the 49-year-old said. The performances of Beckham earned him the title of UEFA Club Footballer of the Year for the 1998–99 season while being named runner-up to Rivaldo for 1999’s Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards.
He added during the documentary: “I don’t think it’ll ever be done the way we did it. Three minutes to go in the Champions League final to do the Treble. It was a dream”.
The former England captain spent four more seasons at Old Trafford before securing a shock move to Real Madrid in 2003 where he won the La Liga in his last season in Spain.
