🛑This match remembered for the dramatic and historic events that unfolded, particularly the infamous "WELCOME TO HELL" moment.🔥
🛑It starts from the first leg of this game where the final score is 3-3 at Old Trafford 🏟️ .
🛑In the second leg the real drama took place during the return leg at Galatasaray’s home ground, the Ali Sami Yen Stadium, in Istanbul, which is where the phrase "WELCOME TO HELL" comes from. The hostile atmosphere in the stadium was overwhelming for Manchester United, with intense crowd noise, fiery chants, and aggressive behavior from the fans. The phrase "WELCOME TO HELL" was a message from Galatasaray's supporters, highlighting the intimidating environment awaiting United. This leg ended in 0 - 0 score & the game won by Galatasaray by Away goals rule 📖
📖(An "away goal" refers to a rule in some two-legged knockout-stage football competitions (like the UEFA Champions League or Europa League) where goals scored by a team playing away from home are given extra weight compared to goals scored at home. If the aggregate score is tied after both legs of a match (home and away), the team that has scored more away goals advances to the next round.)
In the case of the 1993 UEFA Cup match between Manchester United and Galatasaray, the aggregate score ended 3-3, but Galatasaray had scored 2 of their goals at Old Trafford (away), while Manchester United scored 0 goals in Istanbul (away). Therefore, Galatasaray advanced due to their superior away goal count. ⚽
