The Champions League is back, baby
After months and months, the Champions League is back.
Yes, there are no fans in the stadiums, but over the course of the next 16 days we will be treated to a veritable smorgasbord of red, hot football action. Straight into our eyeballs.
We know you’re as excited as we are, so we’ve put together a lovely quiz to test your knowledge ahead of the first match. Be warned, however, that this ain’t your mom’s Champions League quiz.
This one is a real doozy, requiring knowledge of the competition over a period of decades. Pretty much, you’re going to have be some of Matrix-esque Oracle to be capable of getting full marks here. Best of luck to all involved.
