CL/European Cup Quiz

[Starfish]

Tonight I will host a CL/European Cup Quiz in an English Pub here in Nürnberg. It's a full evening 50 Question Quiz - 5 rounds of 10 questions. It's supposed to be fun too (because I am so charming and stuff - this is my job, after all). The first 6 questions have a,b,c,d choices - the other 4 are open questions.

Anyway, here is Round One (no cheating allowed TBM!) - I will post the answers at about 11.30. It is relatively difficult but I suspect there will be quite a few people present tonight who will have studied (and there is one team from Kicker Magazine coming, for example). There will be a couple of German-related questions which will be a bit tough too - forgive me. If you love this, I will put up the rest of the rounds gradually through the day and let you know tomorrow how many points the winning team have.

a) Cédric Anger

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Nice and easy then!

Without looking up or guessing i think i would only get 3 or 4 of those.

Herrara is the manager in Q3.

Q5. Ernest Happel coached Feynoord to the 1970 Cup, so him.

7.Man Utd were returning for Yugoslavia i think. Partisan Belgrade?

9.Celtic won it in 1967 for the current trophy.

Hope for a bit more luck in the later rounds!

Thanks for the feedback. It is difficult, I know but there will be 4 people on a team. And, I suppose it is only natural that the later rounds will be easier. As I said, I will only post the answers a bit later.

Not at all mate, that was tough and i'm not really a student of football pre my birth.

Would have got Celtic and had a decent stab at Red Star Belgrade,that's it.

[papereyes]

3 depends entirely on who the club is and which league they're from.

The prize money for the Champions League final winners is something like 7 million Euros. However, for simply being in the CL, a team like Manchester or AC mIlan can get in excess of 20 million Euros simply for playing 6 games and perhaps losing all 6.

4 Roma

5 Messi

6 Dunno. Think it a trick.

7 Too many

8 lost when they had already qualified to Donetsk
