Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. European Cup - Which Scottish club did Feyenoord beat in 1970 to win their first European Cup?

Answer: Celtic

Feyenoord's first entry into the European Cup came in the 1961-62 season, when they failed to get past the first round. The 1969-70 season saw their fourth attempt to win Europe's top prize, in which they were able to get past clubs from Iceland, Italy, East Germany and Poland to reach the final, where they faced Scottish champions Celtic.

The game, played at the San Siro stadium in Milan on 6 May 1970 saw Feyenoord win 2-1, becoming the first Dutch club to win a European trophy, the year after their bitter rivals Ajax had failed to win the same competition. Entering the following season's competition as holders, Feyenoord were subsequently beaten in the first round.
2. European Cup - Which Spanish club did Inter beat in 1964 to win their first European Cup?

Answer: Real Madrid

Inter's first foray into the European Cup was in 1963-64, when they were able to negotiate a path all the way to the final, getting past clubs from England, France, Yugoslavia and West Germany before facing Spanish giants Real Madrid. The 1964 final was the ninth in the competition's history, and Real Madrid had played in six of the previous eight, winning the first five.

In the final, played at the Praterstadion in Vienna on 27 May 1964, despite Real Madrid's pedigree, Inter ran out 3-1 winners to emulate their local rivals AC Milan, who had won the competition the previous year.

Inter went on to retain the trophy the following season, in the process becoming the second side to win the European Cup in their own stadium.
3. European Cup - Which German club did Liverpool beat in 1977 to win their first European Cup?

Answer: Borussia Mönchengladbach

Liverpool first entered the European Cup in the 1964-65 season, where they reached the semi-final. However, over the next decade their record in the competition was poor, entering twice and not getting past the second round. In 1976-77, however, they got past clubs from Northern Ireland, Turkey, France and Switzerland to reach their first final, where they played German champions Borussia Mönchengladbach. Coincidentally, the German club had been Liverpool's opponents in the 1973 UEFA Cup final, when the English side won their first European trophy.

In 1977, the European Cup final was held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 25 May, with Liverpool winning the game by three goals to one to become only the second English club to win the competition. Liverpool's victory in 1977 was the start of a period of English domination of the tournament, with seven English victories in eight finals between 1977 and 1984, including four for the Merseysiders.
4. European Cup - Which German club did FC Porto beat in 1987 to win their first European Cup?

Answer: Bayern Munich

FC Porto's debut in the European Cup came in the competition's second season, 1956-57, when they failed to get past the preliminary round. Up to the 1986-87 season, the club only participated in the tournament five times, never getting past the second round in any of their appearances.

In the 1986-87 competition however, Porto got past clubs from Malta, Czechoslovakia, Denmark and the Soviet Union to reach the final against German champions Bayern Munich. The game was played at the Praterstadion in Vienna on 27 May 1987, and saw Porto win by scoring two goals in the 77th and 80th minutes to overcome Bayern's early lead and win 2-1. Porto's victory was the first for a Portuguese club in the competition since 1962, and only the second Portuguese European trophy in that 25-year period.
5. European Cup - Which Portuguese club did PSV Eindhoven beat in 1988 to win their first European Cup?

Answer: Benfica

PSV Eindhoven were the first Dutch team to participate in the European Cup, entering in the inaugural season in 1955-56, failing to get past the first round. Although regulars in European competition, the club were not regular entrants into the European Cup, only taking part in the tournament another five times up to the 1987-88 season, reaching the semi-final in 1976.

However, in the 1987-88 season, they got past clubs from Turkey, Austria, France and Spain to reach the final, where they played Portuguese champions Benfica.

The game was a tense affair, and ended 0-0 after extra time, which led to a penalty shoot-out that PSV eventually won 6-5. In the process, they became the third of the Netherlands' "big three" clubs to win the competition, and the second Dutch club to win the "Treble" of league title, domestic cup and European Cup in the same season.
6. European Cup - Which French club did Real Madrid beat in 1956 to win their first European Cup?

Answer: Stade de Reims

Real Madrid were one of the teams to take part in the inaugural holding of the European Cup during the 1955-56 season. At the time, entry was not necessarily based on success in the domestic league, with teams instead selected by the French football magazine "L'Equipe", whose editor, Gabriel Hanot, had come up with the idea for the tournament.

In the first tournament, Real Madrid (who had won the previous season's Spanish title), got past opponents from Switzerland, Yugoslavia and Italy to reach the final against French champions Stade de Reims.

The final, played at the Parc des Princes in Paris on 13 June 1956, saw Real Madrid run out winners 4-3, to begin an unprecedented period of European success - the club won six of the first eleven European Cup tournaments, including the first five, reaching the final on two further occasions.
7. European Cup Winners Cup - Which Soviet club prevented Feyenoord winning the 1981 European Cup-Winners Cup in the Dutch club's first campaign?

Answer: Dinamo Tbilisi

Feyenoord had been a regular participant in European football since the early 1960s. Despite this, the club's first participation in the European Cup-Winners Cup was not until the 1980-81 season, having won the KNVB Beker the previous season. In that competition, the club got past clubs from Finland, Denmark and Bulgaria to reach the semi-final, where they faced Soviet club Dinamo Tbilisi. Over the two legs of the fixture, Feyenoord lost the first, held at the Lenin Stadium in Tbilisi on 8 April 1981 by three goals to nil, while the second, at the Feijenoord Stadion in Rotterdam on 22 April, saw Feyenoord win 2-0, losing the tie 3-2 on aggregate. Up to the demise of the Cup Winners Cup in 1999, Feyenoord reached the semi-final twice more, losing in both 1992 and 1996.
8. European Cup Winners Cup - Which Belgian club prevented Inter from winning the 1979 European Cup-Winners Cup in the Italian club's first campaign?

Answer: KSK Beveren

Despite their regular participation in European competition, which began in the 1955-58 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, Inter only entered the European Cup Winners Cup on two occasions during its existence. The first occasion came in the 1978-79 season, when they got past clubs from Malta and Norway to reach the quarter-final, where they faced Belgian side Beveren over two legs.

The first leg, held at the San Siro in Milan on 7 March 1979, ended goalless. The return leg, at the Freethiel Stadion in Beveren on 21 March, saw the home side achieve victory by a goal to nil, winning the tie 1-0 on aggregate.

Inter's second and final appearance in the Cup Winners Cup came four years later, and was again ended at the quarter-final stage.
9. European Cup Winners Cup - Which German club prevented Liverpool from winning the 1966 European Cup-Winners Cup in the English club's first campaign?

Answer: Borussia Dortmund

Liverpool's first entry into the European Cup Winners Cup came in the 1965-66 season, only their second season in European competition. The club managed to get past opponents from Italy, Belgium, Hungary and Scotland to reach their first European final, where they played against the West German side Borussia Dortmund.

The final, which was held at Hampden Park in Glasgow on 5 May 1966, ended 1-1 at the end of normal time, which led to thirty minutes of extra time. Borussia scored a second during this period to win the game 2-1 to become the first German club to win a European trophy. Liverpool took part in the Cup Winners Cup four more times, going on to reach the semi-final in their final appearance in the competition's antepenultimate edition in 1997.
10. European Cup Winners Cup - Which Italian club prevented FC Porto from winning the 1984 European Cup-Winners Cup?

Answer: Juventus

FC Porto first appeared in the European Cup Winners Cup in the 1964-65 season, where they were knocked out in the second round. In three subsequent appearances, the furthest they had reached was the quarter-final, which they had done on two occasions.

In 1983-84 however, they got past clubs from Yugoslavia, Scotland and the Soviet Union to reach their first European final, where they played Italian side Juventus. The final was held at the St Jakob Stadium in Basel on 16 May 1984, and saw the Italians win the game 2-1. Porto entered the Cup Winners Cup on three further occasions, reaching the quarter-final in their final appearance in 1995.
11. European Cup Winners Cup - Which Italian club prevented PSV Eindhoven from winning the 1970 European Cup Winners Cup in PSV's first campaign?

Answer: Roma

PSV Eindhoven's first entry into the European Cup Winners Cup came in only their third European campaign in 1969-70. In this, they got past Austrian club Rapid Vienna in the first round before facing Italian side Roma over two legs in the second round.

The first leg was held at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 11 November 1969 and resulted in a 1-0 win for Roma. The second leg, at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven on 25 November, saw a 1-0 win for PSV, which led to a 1-1 aggregate score. Extra time failed to separate the sides, and so, as the concept of the penalty shoot-out had not been developed, and a replay was not possible, a coin-toss was held to determine the winner of the tie, with Roma coming out victorious. PSV entered the Cup Winners Cup on four further occasions, going on to reach the semi-final in 1971 and 1975.
12. European Cup Winners Cup - Which English club prevented Real Madrid from winning the 1971 European Cup Winners Cup in Real's first campaign?

Answer: Chelsea

Until the 1970-71 season, every European campaign Real Madrid had participated in had been in the European Cup, That year, they entered the European Cup-Winners Cup for the first time, and got past clubs from Malta, Austria, Wales and the Netherlands to reach what was their ninth European final, where they faced English club Chelsea.

The final was held at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus on 19 May 1971, and ended 1-1 after extra time. This led to a replay being held at the same venue two days later, which saw Chelsea win by two goals to one, claiming their first European trophy in the process. Real Madrid entered the Cup Winners Cup on three further occasions, and reached a second final in 1983, where they were defeated by Scottish club Aberdeen.
13. UEFA Cup - Which English club did Feyenoord beat in 1974 to win their first UEFA Cup?

Answer: Tottenham Hotspur

Feyenoord first entered the UEFA Cup in 1972-73, the tournament's second season, going out in the second round. The following season, the club made its way past clubs from Sweden, Poland, Belgium and West Germany to reach the two-legged final, where they played English club Tottenham Hotspur, the inaugural winners of the competition.

The first leg was held on 21 May 1974 at White Hart Lane in London, and ended in a 2-2 draw, while the return leg at the Feijenoord Stadion in Rotterdam saw Feyenoord win 2-0, to win the tie 4-2 on aggregate, and with it their second European trophy, following the 1970 European Cup. Twenty-eight years later, in 2002, won their second UEFA Cup, this time against German side Borussia Dortmund.

Although the final was by then a single game held at a predetermined venue, in 2002 the chosen venue was the Feijenoord Stadion, making Feyenoord the first club to win the UEFA Cup at their own stadium in both the two-legged and single game eras.
14. UEFA Cup - Which Italian club did Inter beat in 1991 to win their first UEFA Cup?

Answer: AS Roma

Inter had been regular participants in the UEFA Cup, with their first entry coming in the 1972-73 competition, with their best run being two successive semi-finals in the mid-1980s, both of which saw them defeated by Real Madrid. In the 1990-91 competition, they went one better, negotiating their way past clubs from Austria, England, Yugoslavia, Italy and Portugal to reach the two-legged final against their Serie A rivals Roma.

The first leg, held at the San Siro in Milan on 8 May 1991, resulted in a 2-0 win for Inter, while the return at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on 22 May was a 1-0 win for Roma.

This saw Inter win the fixture 2-1 on aggregate and claim their third European trophy, following two European Cup triumphs in the 1960s. Inter won a second UEFA Cup three years later, while in 1998 they were victorious in the first UEFA Cup final held as a single game.
15. UEFA Cup - Which German club did Liverpool beat in 1973 to win their first UEFA Cup?

Answer: Borussia Mönchengladbach

Liverpool's first participation in the UEFA Cup came in 1972-73, the tournament's second season, although they taken part in the competition's predecessor, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, every season between 1967 and 1971. In their first UEFA Cup, they got past clubs from West Germany, Greece, East Germany and England to set up a final against West German side Borussia Mönchengladbach.

The final was held over two legs, with the first scheduled to be held on 9 May 1973 at Anfield in Liverpool. However, the first leg was abandoned after just 27 minutes due to heavy rain leading to the pitch becoming waterlogged.

The game was restaged the following day, with Liverpool winning 3-0. The second leg, at the Bökelbergstadion in Mönchengladbach on 23 May, saw the German side win 2-0, leaving Liverpool with a 3-2 aggregate victory to claim their first European trophy. Four years later, the same two sides played each other in the European Cup final, with Liverpool again successful.
16. UEFA Cup - Which Scottish club did FC Porto beat in 2003 to win their first UEFA Cup?

Answer: Celtic

FC Porto had made their debut in the UEFA Cup in the tournament's first season in 1971-72, having been regulars in the competition's predecessor, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, during the 1960s. In their first appearance, they were knocked out in the first round. Up to the 2002-03 season, the club never got past the competition's quarter-final.

However, in that 2002-03 season, they got past clubs from Poland, Austria, France, Greece, Turkey and Italy to reach their first UEFA Cup final, against Scottish club Celtic.

The final, held at the Estadio de La Cartuja in Seville on 21 May 2003, ended 2-2, resulting in a further thirty minutes of extra time, in which the 'silver goal' rule operated, where extra time would end after the first 15 minutes if a team was leading. Porto scored a third goal during the first period of extra time that Celtic were unable to equalise, resulting in Porto claiming the trophy.

The following season, Porto went on to win their second European Cup, becoming one of the few clubs to win different European trophies in successive seasons.
17. UEFA Cup - Which French club did PSV Eindhoven beat in 1978 to win their first UEFA Cup?

Answer: Bastia

PSV Eindhoven's first foray into the UEFA Cup was in the competition's inaugural season, when they reached the third round. In only their second entry into the competition, in 1977-78, they got past clubs from Northern Ireland, Poland, East and West Germany, and Spain, to reach a two-legged final against French club Bastia.

The first leg, at the Stade de Furiani in Bastia on 26 April 1978, ended goalless. The return leg was held at the Philips Stadion in Eindhoven on 9 May, and saw PSV win 3-0, for a 3-0 aggregate victory, seeing the club claim their first European trophy.

Answer: Videoton

Real Madrid first entered the UEFA Cup in the competition's first season in 1971-72, where they were knocked out in the second round.

The first leg was held at the Sóstói Stadion in Székesfehérvár on 8 May 1985, and saw Real Madrid win 3-0.

The return leg, at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid, was on 22 May, with the Hungarian side winning by a goal to nil, which led to a 3-1 aggregate victory for Real Madrid, and their first European trophy in almost twenty years. The following season, Real Madrid retained the UEFA Cup with a 5-3 aggregate victory over West German side Cologne.
19. The first club to win both the European Cup and UEFA Cup never won the European Cup-Winners Cup.

Answer: True

Having won the Eredivisie title in 1969, Feyenoord qualified for the 1969-70 European Cup. Although only the second Dutch team to reach the final, they became the first to win a European trophy when they won 2-1. Four years later, Feyenoord were playing in the UEFA Cup, having finished second in the Eredivisie the season before. Reaching the final, they won 4-2 on aggregate.

This made Feyenoord the first team to win both the European and UEFA Cups. However, they were not the first team to win two of the major European competitions, as Italian side AC Milan won the European Cup for the first time in 1963, and their first European Cup Winners Cup 1968.
20. The most successful club in the 39-year history of the now defunct Cup-Winners Cup won all three UEFA trophies during that period.

Answer: False

Barcelona won the Cup Winners Cup a total of four times during its 39-year history (1979, 1982, 1989, 1997), before going on to win a first European Cup in 1992. During the period of the Cup Winners Cup, between 1961 and 1999, the club reached a total of three UEFA Cup semi-finals, but never reached the final.

However, between 1955 and 1971, Barcelona participated in the predecessor tournament to the UEFA Cup, the Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, winning the trophy three times (1958, 1960, 1966), a record for that competition. Because the Fairs Cup was not organised by UEFA, participation in it is not recognised as part of a club's European record, and consequently Barcelona are not included among the list of clubs to have won all three of UEFA's major tournaments.
