Football Trivia

No that wasn’t until 2012 with Liverpool-Chelsea.

2000 was the last old Wembley final.

Chelsea will fancy their chances today as they beat Manchester United the last time the final was played on May 19th - which was the first new Wembley final.

Though Mr. Mourinho will no doubt claim that means the omens favour Manchester United today given that he was Chelsea manager that day.

Doubt Cabrini played in a European Championship Funal.

Arnie Mühren ( all other bar WC ; he was first capped in late 1978 )

Dino Zoff could have completed the set in the 1984 Cup Winners Cup final had he not retired in 1983.

Stielike, Kaltz and Nesta all correct. Kaltz played in all three club finals with Hamburg.

Desailly is only missing the uefa cup too I think.

Thuram is also very close. Unused sub in a CWC final. In fact Wengers 1992 Monaco team had some serious talent. Weah, Petit, Thuram, Djorkaeff

Same as the Barcelona 91-94 team

Beaten by a failed rugby player in the final then.
