LAST WEEK’S FourFourTwo’s Weekend Crossword 58
Welcome one and all to yet another FourFourTwo Weekend Crossword, which we started 59 weeks ago and didn’t realise would take on quite the life it has: if you’re new here, it’s nice to have you, if you’re a regular, just crack on without the explainer.

Let’s make a switch from cryptic clues to the cold, hard data of clinical finishers and domestic specialists who have defined the modern era. We’ve got a few more quizzes if you’re up for it, as ever, powered by Kwizly.
We’re diving straight into the record books to identify the true masters of the final third across two of the world’s most prestigious stages. We want you to demonstrate your archival depth by naming the players with the most goals and assists in Champions League history, a task that honours the dual-threat icons who made the midweek anthem their personal soundtrack. Once you’ve conquered Europe, it’s time to bring it back to the English top flight: can you name the top 100 scorers in Premier League history?
Next, we take a trip to Spain and name every Copa del Rey finalist since 2000, a challenge that rewards those who remember the dramatic giant-killings and the dominant dynasties of the Iberian Peninsula. Following that, prove your knowledge of the London divide: can you name whether these 20 players played for Arsenal, Chelsea, both or neither? From the high-stakes finals in Seville to the controversial transfers across the M25, let’s see if your scouting network is firing on all cylinders.
Our Brazilian footballers wordsearch and the Big Premier League wordsearch are waiting after that, if you’d like a breather – and to ensure you’re never caught out by a late tactical shift, subscribe to our newsletter for your daily afternoon briefing of curated trivia.
