Firstly, my apologies for missing last weeks teaser. I had work for a few days which required me to get out of bed at 4-30…yes in the morning! I know, I didn’t realised there was another 4-30 either! It totally slipped my mind until Saturday lunch time, and when I had properly woken up for the first time in days realised my mistake but of course by this time it was too late. Anyway, get used to it because it won’t be the last time I miss one!

Back to the point of this post. One of the things I have always remembered, and I don’t know why but I just have, is winners of a certain tournament across a number of years. I guess it is a bit like times tables, and being a maths geek take enjoyment in doing simple maths when I can’t sleep at night. Anything up to 12 X 12 I am pretty quick with, any squared number up to 20 and any cubed number up to 10. After that I have to use my head, which is exactly what I do when I can’t sleep. My point is that I do the same for winners of certain trophies, so for example I know every winner of the FA Cup and the score and who they beat back to 1994. Why 1994…? No idea! So in the spirit of this knowledge which for 99% of my life is pretty useless, this weeks Friday Football Teaser is…

Past winners of the UEFA Champions League since 1992/93. This was the first season it was known as the Champions League after previously being the European Cup, so seems a good place to start. Good luck and please leave a comment!

This really shows how well English football has done in the Champions League since 2005. Five runners-up and three winners in eight seasons speaks for itself, especially when the eight season’s before that only had a single winner, or finalist, in Manchester United.
