both sides had a connection to the early history of european football; chelsea were invited to take part in the inaugural european cup in 1955–56 as champions of england, only to be denied entry by the football league, allowing manchester united to become the first english entrants in the competition the following season. in february 1958, eight manchester united players were killed in the munich air disaster, when the aeroplane carrying their team back from a match in belgrade crashed while attempting to take off from a refuelling stop in munich. manager matt busby was seriously injured in the crash and almost died as a result, but he rebuilt the team, and in may 1968, manchester united became the first english winners of the european cup, beating benfica 4–1 in the 1968 european cup final. chelsea won their first european trophy three years later, when they beat real madrid 2–1 in the 1971 european cup winners' cup final replay after a 1–1 draw in the first match. both chelsea and manchester united won that same competition during the 1990s – first manchester united beat barcelona 2–1 in the 1991 final (followed by victory over red star belgrade in the 1991 super cup), and then chelsea beat vfb stuttgart in the 1998 final (followed by victory over real madrid in the 1998 super cup, their most recent european success at the time). manchester united then won their second european cup the following year, beating bayern munich in the 1999 champions league final.
