UEFA Champions League 1998/99
Players in UCL move realistically and can perform a wide range of actions I don't usually see in a computer soccer game. These include arguing with the ref, "chesting" the ball, and blowing kisses to the crowd. You can view the action from anywhere in the stadium, and computer players have decent intelligence: they don't wait for the ball to come to them, but will pro-actively run to empty spaces and call for a pass.
On the coaching side, UCL is lacking compared to similar games (e.g. EA's FIFA International Soccer and Actua Soccer 3). But since it is primarily an action-oriented game, this is not a major disadvantage. UCL also offers good multiplayer support: up to 16 human players can take part in the Cup, with up to 4 people playing simultaneously. All in all, UCL is well worth the time for any soccer fan, even if its coaching element is sub-standard. Highly recommended, but not quite a Top Dog.
