Solutions

1:D - Rooney was only 18 when he scored three goals for Manchester United in their 6-2 win over Fenerbahce in 2004. It was his first game for the club., 2:C - Vitali Klitschko needed 60 stitches to repair a cut he suffered when fighting Lennox Lewis in 2003., 3:C - Another strange fact from that game: Real Madrid did not have a shot on target but they did score two goals (which were disallowed)., 4:B - Klopp was making the point that, even though his players are now Champions League winners, they have to remain who they were before and stay humble. As usual, he chose an interesting way to phrase it., 5:C - On average, adults in Japan drink 53 litres of beer per year. That figure goes up to 81 litres in New Zealand, 89 litres in the UK, 98 litres in Australia and a whopping 118 litres in Ireland. Japanese bars: be warned., 6:C - Not just shampoo. They have also used conditioner. Fail to prepare, prepare to fail., 7:C - They were disqualified for fielding ineligible players in qualifying., 8:C - In 2010, when Flores was in charge of Atlético Madrid and Hodgson was in charge of Fulham., 9:B - Rinne is the Finnish prime minister so it's only natural he would want to honour Finnish goal machine Teemu Pukki. Macron, looking a little bemused, held up the shirt for the cameras as if he was about to sign for a new club., 10:C - “It seemed childish to me. I’m a doctor and this man is farting in my face,” said the doctor, who intends to sue Brown.
