Sir Alex Ferguson resorted to a bitter jibe as his fury boiled over following Manchester United 's elimination from the Champions League on this day in 2010.
The legendary Scot was searching for his third triumph in the competition after United fell just short of defending their 2008 crown one season earlier, losing the 2009 final to Barcelona. They began their European conquest in dominant fashion, topping Group B before defeating AC Milan by an aggregate scoreline of 7-2 in the last 16.
United were then drawn against Bayern Munich ahead of the next round, pitting Ferguson against the old foe he defeated in the famous 1999 final. However, the Bundesliga giants had the last laugh on this occasion after two fiercely-competitive legs in late March and early April.
