Football quiz time – in preparation for Liverpool vs Real Madrid tonight

Reds fans were livid with one particular star leaving for Spain over the summer, but unlike local rivalries, there had been 10 players before Trent Alexander-Arnold to have played both sides of the divide – if you can call it that.

Can you name all 11 players in just four minutes in this quiz? We're included the years that each player played for Liverpool and Real Madrid and sorted the list by their Merseyside tenure…

Handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love

You clearly know your way around the Bernabeu and Anfield – but if that got you in the mood for some serious history and European trivia, then we have the perfect follow-ups, powered by Kwizly.

First up, we move from the very top of the goal charts to the players just shy of the century mark. See if you can name every Premier League player with between 80 and 100 goals. After that, let's turn our attention to the global stage and celebrate the world's most spectacular strikes: can you name all 16 Puskas Award winners?

Next, we move from goal-of-the-season contenders to some seriously big spending. Test your knowledge of continental finance and see if you can name Paris Saint-Germain's record signings. Then, for a visual treat, try your luck and see if you can name these players from a LEGO picture?

Finally, give those trivia muscles a rest and try FourFourTwo's Weekend Crossword 25, with clues on assists, gaming sponsors and super Spaniards. It’s the perfect, brain-tickling distraction before you inevitably start another one of our quizzes. And sign up to the newsletter, too, for more quizzes sent to you directly.
