Football Quizzes

Which Europa League team should you support?

Published: 14:00, 28 April 2021

Tuesdays may boast Pancake Day, Champions League football and Wayne Rooney’s debut hat-trick for Man Utd all those years ago, but spare a thought for Thursdays.

The Europa League has proven consistently that it is not a tournament to be sniffed at, hosting some of the finest clubs Europe has to offer, including the Champions League dropouts come the knockout rounds.

Past winners include a Jorge Valdano-inspired Real Madrid (then known as the UEFA Cup) Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid (twice), Louis van Gaal’s esteemed Ajax side of the 90s; even Bill Shankly’s Liverpool took to the tournament with relish, winning it in 1973, before Bob Paisley repeated the feat three years later.

So, as we enter the vortex of madness that is the Europa League semi-finals, there’s every reason you should be keeping your Thursday nights free.

And we’ve put together a little quiz that will help you determine which Europa League club you should be rooting for.

</p> <section> <h2></h2> </section> <section> <h2> <h2>Will you be cheering on a Premier League club in the Round of 16?</h2> </h2> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Be honest, do you care about having a former player in the dugout?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Most important managerial trait?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2>The “Battle of the Buffet” has a snug abode in football lore, but what remains your lasting memory from the otherwise known “Pizzagate”?</h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Starting from next season, if your club could achieve one of these great feats, which would you choose?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3></h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Welcome to the red half of north London!</strong></h2> <p>The ‘fourth’ jokes wore thin in the end, but you can only dream of finishing there these days. Your best route back into the Champions League may, therefore, be winning this competition.</h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2>You’re hanging a vintage jersey above your bed. What classic strip are you going for?</h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Just like ‘Wayne Rooney’s Derby’, or the formerly known ‘Frank Lampard’s Chelsea’, would it be fair to say you’re rooting for ‘Bruno Fernandes’ Man Utd’?</strong></h2> <p>Well, we’re going with it anyway. Under Ole you’ve made Paris your favourite holiday destination and 0-0s par for the course in ‘Big Six’ showdowns.</p> <p> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Which five-a-side team are you going for?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Favourite boots?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2>Pedro Mendes, where do you stand?</h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2>Welcome to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where you’ll be rooting for, you guessed it, Tottenham Hotspur.</h2> <p>You have a serial winner at the helm who will be looking to obliterate that ‘Spursy’ tag and show Giorgio Chiellini what’s what!</h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Preferred holiday destination?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2>Running tracks in football stadiums, where do you stand?</h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Where are you sending your scouts?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2>Pick a trait from your favourite Czech Republican footballer.</h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Grab the potato salad and get ready for a FaceTime call you’ll never forget!</strong></h2> <p>You’ve landed in Prague, the former home of football’s nicest ever player, Tomas Soucek, and a breeding ground for future West Ham talent.</p> <p>In the Premier League you can’t go a West Ham game without the commentators mentioning Slavia Prague in some capacity. No idea if the same rule applies for Prague games in the Czech Republic, mind.</h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>If you could go back and watch one player in their prime for a full 90 minutes, who are you choosing?<em></em></strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3></h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>You’ve unfurled your tifo. What’s adorning the banner?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>You’ve rocked up in the Eternal City!</strong></h2> <p>If ever a Premier League flop needed a safe haven to bounce back, it’s the Italian capital. Paulo Fonseca has Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Chris Smalling and Federico Fazio all playing with distinction.</p> <p>Heck, remember Jordan Veretout? Relegated with Villa as they took the wooden spoon in 2016. Well, he’s netted 11 goals this term! What a time to be a Roman.</p> <p>Move aside Conte, Premier League outcasts have a new messiah in Serie A, and his name is Fonseca.</h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2>Preferred<strong> style of play?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>The </strong>Johan Cruyff Arena awaits you honorary Amsterdammer!</h2> <p>You’re in luck, you’ve picked the idolatrous temple of future Barcelona stars and have a manager at the helm who oozes Ajax DNA.</p> <p>You also made Sebastien Haller the most expensive Dutch import ever in January, much to the utter bafflement of match-going West Ham fans.</p> <p>You then omitted him from your Europa League squad, much to the understanding of match-going West Ham fans.</h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>You can bring back one player in their prime to have in your XI, who are you choosing?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>Where do your priorities lie?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>You’re a step away from donning the Rangers insignia, but before I can let you pass, you must answer this one question:</strong><strong>If I were to offer you a bowl of Cullen skink, how would you react?</strong><strong>You’re so close, don’t let this slip!</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>A true Glaswegian, you’ve joined the club at just the right time: they’re the big boys in the Scotland at the minute!</strong></h2> <p>Celtic’s domestic stranglehold is over, and who knows, maybe Stevie G can bring European glory to Ibrox.</p> <p>Just keep Scott Brown away from Morelos and we’ll all be okay.</h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>What look would you go for on the touchline?</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h1>Diego Martinez is either about to tee off, or travel slightly north east for an all-inclusive knees-up in Benidorm.</h1> <p>I don’t think Granada fans (yourself included now) would mind one bit, though, as Granada are in Europe. I repeat: Granada are in Europe.</p> <p>This is the club’s first ever footsteps in the Europa League, and hey, they’re making a good go of it.</p> <p>Move aside Sevilla, Andalusia has a new Europa League specialist.</p> <h2><strong> </strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2>‘<strong>Good Ebening</strong>’<strong>! </strong><strong></strong></h2> <p>Europa League magnet Unai Emery is in his happy place once again, not familiar pastures in Spain, but the knockout rounds of this competition.</p> <p>It’s where he feels most at one with himself, and although Sevilla are weirdly not here for the last-16, at least Emery has stuck to his end of the bargain.</p> <p>Forget about Abbey Road, this Yellow Submarine is taking you to the Estadio de la Ceramica!</h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2><strong>The one you wish stayed…</strong></h2> </h3> </section> <section> <h3> <h2>You were once #PioliOut like the rest of Milan, but now, you love the guy!</h2> <p>What a turnaround for Stefano Pioli, who has roused Italy’s sleeping giant from its protracted slumber and got the San Siro daring to dream of a scudetto again (the red half that is).</h3> </section> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p>
