B

Refers to a big match in Europe between two teams from Britain. Classically this would be between one of the Old Firm Scottish giants (Celtic and Rangers) against a traditional big team from England (Liverpool and Manchester United), but it can refer to teams from the same country playing each other in European competition too. There’s familiarity, a big atmosphere from both sets of fans, and even greater bragging rights.

Real Madrid attackig trio Bale, Benzema and Cristiano (Ronaldo). They were the attacking front three for the Spanish giants between 2013 and 2018.

Throwing yourself backwards in the air and kicking the ball over your head while cycling your legs. Also called an overhead kick or scissors kick. It's difficult, risky, and when it comes off, nothing looks better. Most commonly used for shots but defenders sometimes clear the ball this way too. Pelé, Hugo Sánchez, and Ronaldo have all scored famous ones.

A player who turns up for the biggest games and performs to a high standard, e.g. cup finals, title deciders etc. Other players can get labelled as players who only turn up against smaller teams.

That intense feeling, the sound, the colour, the vibes. An electric atmosphere that ripples in and around the stadium in the build-up to a massive game like a semi-final of a European competition, a cup final, or the final day of a league season with something on the line.
