Many consider this game to be a watershed moment for Fergie’s Manchester United. After years of struggling in Europe, English club finally managed to get not only a win, but a proper battering of their opponent.
Finally, it seemed, Ferguson had found a way to replicate Cantona’s domestic influence. Before that, Eric Cantona, that vivid symbol of United’s domestic authority, would somehow always become subliminal, and marginalised from the play with his back to goal. But in this game he scored the second goal and he was at the heart of the third and fourth; the carved, outside-of-the-right ball at the beginning of the move from which Giggs made it 3-0 was one of the prettiest passes of his career. At one point, Ron Atkinson even reproached him on commentary for a ludicrous flick, the kind that he only played when he felt he owned the pitch.

I finally have the opportunity to see how great Eric Cantona was on the pitch thank you for those videos continue you have a new subscriber now 👍🏿
Was disappointed never to see Cantona feature in a world cup. Imagine him alongside Zidane? He could have been a world cup winner!
The travesty is that if you google Eric Cantona now, he comes up as a French Actor!
For a centre forward, he has the ball an awful lot. But you know what, I wouldn’t have wished the ball at anyone else’s feet.
2:33 coolest most stylish player ever played
shame he retired at 30, he couldve have been playing for another 2-3 yrs
Brian Moore. WHAT a commentator. I loved him on European nights. Class.
Commentary by the late great Brian Moore.
I was there that night. He was instrumental. Never hid from the ball. An absolute maverick.
Proper the footballer with an amazing brain
“The Portuguese are sitting on the floor dumbfounded.” Brian Moore. RIP.
United Really could have won the Champions League that year, So unlucky against BVB in the semis
Somehow got to 1-0 up in the video yet never saw a goal. Would've thought that would've been more of a highlight than a few corners.
Porto team talked a big game. In world soccer magazine..Jardel dismissed them but did say Cantona was a mystical figure and they had to watch out for him. The late sir Bobby Robson also poo poo'd Uniteds chances.
It was au revoir Porto. United made them their bitches that day.
United should have beaten Dortmund and Eric should have had a winners medal.
Never mind, what a star!
4-0 já é capote🤣🤣🤣
what a player!!!
Player class
at 0:33 when he politely asks the camera man to move so he can take the corner 😂
Simply… The King
His "poorest" season but what a player he was for us.. those 2 assist is all class
