Time for a football quiz: how well do you know Champions League one-hit wonders?

For this quiz, we're going to be asking you for clubs that have qualified for Europe's premier competition… but there's a twist, as we'd like you to list every club who only managed to get into the Champions League once in their history (since the tournament's rebrand in 1992/93).

Just 19 clubs from Europe's top five leagues – that's England's Premier League, France's Ligue 1, Germany's Bundesliga, Italy's Serie A and Spain's La Liga – are on the list – with a mere eight minutes to name every one. Don't forget to sign in for hints and to leave your score in the comments…
