Originally posted by Satchmo Distel View PostDunno the answer but I wonder how many European players have won 50 caps since 1945 but have never played in any phase of the European Cup or Champions League? I thought Tom Finney would be one but he played against Benfica, including Eusebio, for Distillery at Windsor Park

Spurs a bit of a grey area this season I grant you! But Wembley's not their home anyway is it? If Chelsea played the FA Cup final at Stamford Bridge I'd count that as a home game. Some people might not, but obviously they'd be wrong! Olimpico was Roma's home.

A bit of a reach this question - and one concerning both current European club tournaments. But while it was only right and proper to take a pause on page 85, it's time we moved on.
This one pertains to the Champions League Round of 16 we're currently in the midst of, and the Europa League Round of 32 just concluded:
Three of the matches took place/will take place in the same stadium in which the two countries represented by each club also met in a major international finals tournament.
Two of the matches did/will take place in the same city as those two countries once met in a major finals.
[For example, if Milan had played Villarreal in last week's Europa League, one of the answers would be Italy v Spain (0-0) at the San Siro in Euro 1980]

There's a few examples from the group stages of the same ground being used: Benfica v Man U = Portugal v England 2004. Spurs v Dortmund = England v WG 1966 (if we count both Wembley stadia as one ground). Spurs v Real Madrid = England v Spain Euro 96. The return fixture was Spain v England 1982.

You've read the question right, Walt - deserving of a prize in itself - and you've got two bang-on.
So, so far, we have:
SAME STADIUM:
Marseille v Sporting Braga (Euro 84 semi)
PSG v Real (Euro 1984 final)
SAME CITY:
Chelsea v Barcelona (Euro 96 quarter-final)
Just looking for one more from each category.

And that's just "same city" potential ...

England lost to Italy in the old Communale in Torino in the 1980 Euros, so Juventus-Tottenham is anotherLast edited by ursus arctos; 27-02-2018, 14:17.

That's it, gents - you've simultaneously nailed the second of the Same City category. Italy v England at Euro 80 in Turin, but not the same stadium as Juve hosted Spurs in their last UCL match.
One to go. These clubs have met/will meet at the very same stadium as their respective countries met in a major finals ...
