spurs in the champions league- 3 london club...is this a RECORD?

[turienzo's lovechild]

3 london clubs in the next years champions league (if spurs qualify)

has any other european city EVER had that many in the champions league in one season?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Few European cities have that many top flight clubs full stop, it must be unique in that respect. Paris, Rome, Berlin, Madrid- none of them have as many senior sides.

Maybe Moscow (Dynamo, Lokomotiv, CSKA, Spartak that I can recall) but they won't have all been in the CL as most countries don't get four places.

Do many other Euopean cities have more than 2 top fight teams?

Madrid have 3, including the obvious and Getafe. Milan need no further explanation, neither does Rome. Or Turin.

 

[Gwylan]

Budapest has five teams in the top division but Hungary are never going to get three CL places.

Buenos Aires, I am reliably (?) informed.

Er...Boca...River Plate....um...

 

[Questions]

None of them Champions league boys but Prague has a few teams.
Sparta, Slavia, Bohemians, and Bohemians 1905 all come from the Czech Premier and Viktoria Žižkov and Dukla Prague come from the 2nd flight.

...and from Wikipedia, Independiente, San Lorenzo, Huracan, Velez Sarsfield, Argentinos Juniors are the ones I've heard of.

It says BA has 24 professional teams, although of what standard I'm not sure.

Talking of Moscow - I'll take them in the Play - Off to qualify for the CL. Always wanted to go to Rusisia.

my mind goes back to the last time the "big 4" were broken.......and the club that "broke it" didn't qualify, and the team that came 5th (liverpool) ended up going through anyway

was quite funny, although i did quite like that everton side......very ERNEST but they would've been destroyed had they qualified

spurs have a lot more quality
