Footie Trivia Question of the Week

I'm about to settle in to watch the UEFA Cup final between Sevilla and Espanyol at Hampden Park. If Sevilla win today, they'll claim the trophy for the second time. However...

"Which five clubs have won the UEFA Cup (not including the Fairs Cup) three times each?"

Good luck, lads!

And in the end Sevilla have picked up their back to back UEFA Cup titles.

It was a cracker - quite different from last year's drubbing of Boro, with two good goals in regular time. The only shame of it is that UEFA haven't been able to pull their fingers out and go with a "Golden Goal" or at least "Silver Goal" system. That would have given Freddy Kanoute the winning goal in the first period of extra time instead of yet another big European final coming down to the absurd lottery of penalties.

Still waiting for the answer to the trivia, lads.

I agree with your statements.

As for the trivia, I have not looked up anything and I would say Inter is one.

Yeah, Inter is one. How about the other four?

Sorry, Trev. Good guess, but there are no Dutch teams in the group. There are, however, two Italian sides (including Inter), two Spanish and one English.

Go to it!

Sorry, no. Are you having a laugh? Spurs? No. Think "English club with a successful record in Europe."

Liverpool- did they win twice in the early seventies?
I know they won in 2001 in that FAKE treble.
I know they won with Shanks, did they win another.

By the way, Spurs have won it twice.
They beat Wolves(?) in the early seventies and then won in 84 ish

Right on both scores. Liverpool won it in 73, 75 and that "fake" treble win in 2001.

Spurs won the first UEFA after it switched from the Inter Cities Fairs Cup in 71 and then again in 83. They really should have made the final this year too after an early away goal by Robbie Keane against Sevilla. Some shocking defending let them down.

Alright, you useless sods - here's the answer:

The five clubs who've won the UEFA three times are -

Juventus
Barcelona
Valencia
Inter
Liverpool

Spanish clubs have the best record, having won twelve times in all.
