Today's quiz looks back on a weird time for everyone in football.
Remember when the world was gripped by a pandemic, no one could go outside and TikTok really took off? Even weirder still, the only thing to watch on television was the Bundesliga, perhaps acting as a springboard for Bayern Munich to build some form and win just absolutely everything going that year, with the pinnacle coming in August – no, really! – as they lifted the Champions League in front of an empty stadium.
But today, we're focusing on the 11 players who lost with Paris Saint-Germain instead, managed by Thomas Tuchel – no really! (again) – as a former Parisian, Kingsley Coman, scored the winner and sank his former employers. Perhaps that's what recalibrated the French kings into building a side of homegrown heroes?
Handpicked football quizzes we know you'll love
Clearly, your knowledge of PSG is as expansive as their trophy cabinet. But beyond 2020's silent showpiece, we want to see how your memory holds up when the pressure of a ticking clock or a historic collapse is added to the mix. We've drawn up a tactical plan to see if you can handle the intensity of the elite stage, courtesy of Kwizly.
We’re doubling down on your Parisian expertise before reopening another of the most famous wounds in the club's history. We want to see if you can truly go the distance by guessing 20 correct answers in our Big Paris Saint-Germain Quiz, before pivoting to that unforgettable, heart-wrenching night at the Camp Nou: can you name the Barcelona XI that completed the Remontada over Paris Saint-Germain? It is a rigorous audit of both club loyalty and the ability to recall the protagonists of a night that changed the Champions League forever.
If you pride yourself on your global reach and historical stamina, we have two high-stakes hurdles waiting in the tunnel. You can take on the ultimate speed-test by attempting to name every single Champions League winner in order... in four minutes, or broaden your horizon to the entire planet and name every country to compete at a FIFA World Cup. From the inaugural winners of the 1930s to the modern heavyweights of the European game, let's see if your footballing IQ remains elite when the scope is truly global.
