Solutions

1:B - Leverkusen were the only team to score against Inter in the league phase, but Barcelona put six past them across two legs in the semi-finals., 2:B - Real Madrid beat all four of these teams in the first five European Cup finals, but it was Frankfurt who suffered the biggest defeat. Ferenc Puskas scored four and Alfredo di Stéfano three at Hampden Park., 3:C - Jaime Graça levelled after Bobby Charlton's opener, but George Best, Brian Kidd and Charlton's second goal secured victory in extra time., 4:B - Milan have played all eight of these teams in finals, but routed Steaua 4-0 in 1989 and repeated that result against Barça in 1994., 5:C - Eusébio scored twice in the second half as Benfica fought back from 2-0 and 3-2 down to prevail in Amsterdam., 6:B - The final in Istanbul featured six goals – the score was 3-0 to Milan at half-time, and 3-3 at full-time, before Liverpool won on penalties., 7:D - Atlético led through Diego Godín's first-half goal and kept their rivals out until Ramos struck in the 93rd minute.
