    Well, if you'd permit me to modify the question slightly. "Is it the greatest performance in a final?"

    - Yes, most finals are absolutely dower miserable performances. This was a master class in tactics and in game management from Howe and the team.

    To a man the NUFC 11 won all their individual battles. They beat their opponent in every position. The league leading goal scorer didn't get a kick, zero chances created, zero shots on or off target. Set piece routines drilled and executed to perfection. Midfield dominance.

    I think it's the best final I've seen in the last 10-15 yrs.

    Greatest Performances not in a final.

    The classics.

    Howay 5-0. Barca 3-2 naturally. I'm sure some of our more seasoned members on the board will harp back to memorable Super Mac matches before my time fair play to the lineage and heritage gents I salute your longevity and potency.

    In recent times / Post takeover

    Home v PSG
    Absolutely humiliated the French took them apart and showed the world who NUFC are. That was the day we arrived.

    Away v PSG
    same 11 had played 14 game in a road (embellishment on the number of games) and put in one of the best defensive, tactical performance I've seen against a rampant PSG team. 180 mins Newcastle united didn't concede a single goal to M'Bappe or the rest of their ?500m team.

    Home v Spurs
    when the boys actually retired Hugo Lloris has to go down as the most dominant and arguably greatest performance. 21 mins of the most ruthless attacking football I've seen live.

    Away v Sheffield United
    Lower quality opposition but a near prefect performance.
    In terms of entertainment I?d add the 3-3 against Liverpool earlier this season, brilliant game to watch? not the complete performance as we leaked the goals, but end to end stuff? and also both 4-3?s against Liverpool? even though they contributed to us not picking up the title in 95/96 they were classic games.
