We reported on Sunday, the poll to crown the best team of the last century was a dead heat between Celtic’s Lisbon Lions and Barcelona’s 08/09 treble winners.
With over 100k votes cast β there was nothing separating the two sides on the BT Sport official poll.
So, the broadcaster went into overtime and put it up for a second time hoping their would be a definitive winner.
Today, we’re delighted to report there has been a winner and it’s that famous team from Lisbon!
Over 100k votes…and it's ended 50-50! π³
We have no choice, this one's going to a REPLAY!

The history behind the Lisbon Lions triumph is so unique it stands out among the rest.
The story of a club from Scotland, born out of charity, rising up to become the champions of Europe β winning it with a team comprised of players born in a 30 mile radius of Celtic Park β and being the first British and still only Scottish team to lift the silverware.
They have gone down in footballing folklore.
