Solutions

1:D - Morata played in the Chelsea team that beat Liverpool in the League Cup in September 2018 and the Atletico Madrid team that beat them on Wednesday night., 2:D - Neither Wales nor Scotland played their games in Dublin due to concerns around the Troubles in Ireland at the time., 3:C - They all scored four goals in a single Champions League game., 4:D - For Manchester United against Sparta Prague in 2004. Funnily enough, in the build-up to the game Alex Ferguson had claimed that if Van Nistelrooy was given four chances he would score three of them. Ferguson underestimated his striker., 5:C - The Gibraltar government has limited public events to 100 people, but the measure has not convinced the players. Neil Robertson, Stephen Maguire, David Gilbert, Graeme Dott and Ali Carter have all pulled out of the tournament., 6:B - There were 90,815 fans inside the Rose Bowl that day to see USA beat China on penalties., 7:B - The game finished 0-0!, 8:B - That’s 21,120 feet (or 6,437 metres in new money)., 9:B - Adebayor kicked an opponent in the head and was shown a straight red card. In his defence, it did look accidental. After the match he tweeted: "Tough game today. What a great team spirit and what a win boys. Sad to leave the pitch early on a Jackie Chan challenge. It was never my intention to hurt my opponent, And I am glad he is OK. #GodFirst #TeamSEA #25 #Lifesgood", 10:D - Who knows when Marler – or any of his teammates – will play in the Six Nations again.
