Roy Keane had the most Roy Keane reaction imaginable to getting a medal for winning the CL

Roy Keane is a Champions League winner.

The Manchester United legend got his hands on ‘Big Ears’ during the famous treble-winning season of 1998/99, which culminated in the iconic 2-1 win over Bayern Munich at Camp Nou.

However, Keane wasn’t lifting UEFA’s legendary trophy above his head in the famous red jersey of the Red Devils, but rather the club’s official suit because he had actually been suspended for the final.

Both himself and Paul Scholes were absent from the legendary comeback in Barcelona because of yellow cards that they picked up during the semi-final tie against Juventus.

And what made the situation especially cruel for Keane is that he dropped arguably his greatest ever performance during the second leg against the Old Lady to send United to the final in the first place.

As such, there was clearly some extra glitter and gloss lacking from the Champions League victory for Keane with his suspension meaning that he couldn’t get amongst the drama on the pitch.

And when it comes to the infamously high standards of Keane, it really does make a difference because the iconic Premier League skipper felt like his winner’s medal didn’t mean much as a result.

Yes, seriously, despite Keane having been inspirational across United’s journey to conquering Europe, the Irishman was incredibly harsh on himself by saying that he didn’t truly appreciate the hardware.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Keane once questioned why people didn’t understand his belief that the medal means little to him during a video that regularly crops up on social media.

Keane remarked in typical fashion: “I didn’t play, did I? I don’t know why people don’t understand when I answer, they say ‘well, you got the medal’, but I didn’t play.
