Of the 23 World Cups up to and including World Cup 2022, 17 have been played since the dawn of the European Cup.
The European Cup, now the Champions League, has been played every year since 1955. The 1954 World Cup in Switzerland didn’t have an overlapping European club champion but the next 17 World Cups did. We want you to name them.
There are 17 teams to name in all and you can have 8 minutes to tick off each one. Let us know your time below if you get the lot.
