"For this quiz, we're giving all you Tottenham fans hope that not all is lost after a first-leg disaster: the Lilywhites have never overturned two goals from the first leg. Spurs vs Manchester City in 2019 was a 1-1 draw in the first leg, remember, while Ajax only won 1-0 in London before Lucas Moura's Amsterdam brilliance but there's clearly something in the air this week."
"Sporting have become the latest team to overturn a deficit against the odds, knocking out Bodo/Glimt 5-3 on aggregate so who else have come back from two or more goals down in a second leg? 19 teams to guess and five minutes to guess them."
"Your ability to recall those nights of European escapology suggests a tactical mind that never knows when it's beaten. Absolutely world-class. However, the continent's history is far deeper than just a few dramatic final whistles: a prestigious new roster of challenges is warming up on the touchline to see if your knowledge has real range."
This article presents a football quiz series focused on European competition comebacks and achievements. It highlights that Tottenham fans should maintain hope despite poor first-leg performances, citing examples like Ajax's 1-0 first-leg win before Lucas Moura's Amsterdam heroics and Sporting's recent 5-3 aggregate victory over Bodo/Glimt. The quiz challenges readers to identify 19 teams that have overturned two-goal deficits in second legs. Additional quiz categories test knowledge of clubs outside Europe's top five leagues reaching Champions League quarter-finals, players winning the Champions League and reaching international finals in the same year, and Premier League historical participation. The quizzes aim to distinguish elite football analysts from casual observers through comprehensive knowledge of European and English football history.
