Solutions

1:D - Foakes has played eight times for England but this would have been his first Test on home soil., 2:A - Villarreal scored from their only shot on target in the game and then scored 11 straight penalties. To make matters worse, De Gea then proceeded to miss his penalty., 3:C - Liverpool beat Deportivo Alavés in a brilliant Uefa Cup final in 2001. Since then Manchester United (2009, 2011 and 2021), Middlesbrough (2006), Arsenal (2006) Fulham (2010) and Liverpool themselves (2016 and 2018) have been beaten by Spanish sides. , 4:D - Unanimity between boxing judges is a rarity – especially in Vegas. All three judges gave the two boxers six rounds apiece, but Taylor’s two knockdowns secured his victory., 5:D - These are the cities that have hosted men's Champions League finals in the last decade., 6:D - It was the only assist of his City career., 7:D - Mickelson is a fascinating character. He has won six majors but not the US Open; he is nicknamed Lefty but is actually right-handed; and he has spent more than 700 weeks in the world top 10 but has never been world No 1., 8:C - Nadal has won 13 of his 20 grand slam titles at Roland Garros., 9:B - Her victory made her the youngest player to win a singles title at the French Open since Nadal in 2005. , 10:E - Good old Bayern Munich.
