Quiz! Can you name the 50 best teams ever in the European Cup/Champions League?
If you counted every major European game as a league rather than a cup, this is what it would look like
The European Cup was founded nearly 65 years as a straight-knockout competition, and has gone through several format – and one name – changes. But if we imagined every game since 1995 as a league game, then these are the 50 most successful clubs.
We’re giving you eight minutes to give it your best shot. Once you’re done, why not send a screenshot of your score to @FourFourTwo – and we’ll retweet it if you don’t give any answers away.
THEN TRY Quiz! Can you name every team in the Champions League 2019/20 group stage?
There’s something a little old fashioned about this quiz, you may have noticed. Not only are we scouring records going all the way back to the end of rationing, but the points tallies are calculated as two points, rather than three, for a win – just as it was in Ye Olde Dayes of Afore. You can thank UEFA for that, having put together the data this quiz is based on.
So tighten your suspenders, pick up the ball from a backpass, and get ready to take on this challenge.
