Solutions

1:B - These were different times for United. Anderson, Giggs and Nani started on the bench and all three came on and scored for United as they beat Chelsea in a penalty shootout. Park Ji-sung, who had started both legs of United's semi-final, did not even make the bench., 2:D - Kewell became the first player born in Australia to win the European Cup – although he was substituted long before Liverpool completed their comeback., 3:C - Bertrand had never played in a Champions League match before. What a way to make your European debut. Chelsea won the game on penalties (by which time Bertrand had been substituted)., 4:A - Arsenal took the lead in the final through Sol Campbell but Barcelona won 2-1 thanks to goals from Juliano Belletti and Samuel Eto'o (who would both go on to play for Chelsea)., 5:C - Eto'o won the competition with Barcelona in 2009, then moved to Inter and won it again the very next season., 6:D - Gareth Bale scored two goals in the final – including his ludicrous overhead kick – but it was Benzema who started up front with Ronaldo., 7:D - Kluivert scored the winning goal in that final at the preposterously young age of 18 years and 327 days – but he didn't start the game., 8:C - Touré deputised at centre-back and helped Barcelona keep a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over Manchester United. , 9:B - Ravanelli opening the scoring in the final before Jari Litmanen equalised for Ajax. Juve won on penalties., 10:B - Pennant, who left a car sitting in Zaragoza for five months because he forgot he owned it, once started a Champions League final. Liverpool were well beaten by Milan, who made amends for their defeat to Liverpool two years before.
