About the disaster in 1999

Manchester United is about to start its 50th season since the Munich air disaster in the 1957-58 season. History is still on Giggs' mind. The Welsh veteran said he hopes the team can win the European Championship in the new season to express his condolences to the victims of the plane crash.

Sir Bobby Charlton, who was on this trip to Asia with the team, was a survivor of that plane crash. Ten years after the plane crash, Charlton and coach Busby led Manchester United, which was rebuilt from the ruins, to win the European Champions League and comfort the souls of their teammates. Looking at Sir Charlton next to him, Giggs was determined to win the Champions League again. "It will be a great gift for the 50th anniversary and everyone knows winning the Champions League this season will mean more than any other season." Giggs often heard this when he was a child himself. Her own grandmother recounts the glories and disasters of the world's greatest football club. She told Giggs how Manchester United pioneered England's campaign in Europe and how they initially flouted authority. Then came the disastrous historical moment of February 6, 1958, when eight Manchester United players lost their young lives in the Munich air crash. "The Busby era and the Munich air disaster are the most important part of the club's history and everyone knows what happened in 1958. Not only the local youngsters but also the new signings know the history of the club. That's what we have Why we have so many fans in the world and can often travel like this is rooted in that era."

"Football has changed a lot in these 50 years, and this also makes me think. Realize how lucky you are. Now we can travel first class, we stay in the best hotels, we are well looked after. Looking back on those days when the Busby kids had to change flights twice across Europe.” Si said, "Seeing the Munich Bell hanging outside Old Trafford always reminds me of those who died in the disaster. 50 years later, this is still the most important part of Manchester United's history, so winning This season's Champions League will be the best way to pay tribute." In 1999, on Sir Busby's 90th birthday, Ferguson led his children to defeat Bayern Munich in the Champions League final and once again win the European championship. This is not just a coincidence. Manchester United people looked to the sky with tears in their eyes, thanking so many pairs of eyes that blessed them. "Since then, we have been very close to the championship many times, but either our performance was not good enough or due to injuries, or just lack of luck." Giggs said, "You have to have everything ready to win the final. Championship."

As one of the oldest players in this Manchester United team, Giggs is still 43 games away from Charlton's club record of 754 games, and he is likely to start soon. This great record was broken in the 2007-2008 season. In the past season, Giggs played 44 games. However, the player himself did not want to talk more about the record. "I don't want to talk about it now, because it may never happen. I will talk about it when it becomes a fact," he said.
