    It could be the first winners as Marseille won the first league 1 title as well as the first new UCL, Nantes the first League cup meaning that Monaco have probably won something first too, but as it isn't the French cup I can't think of what it would be.

    The existence of a 'bonus answer' would suggest that those clubs are the only ones who've done whatever it is that links them, so being the first winners of things is probably out.

    I was thinking along the lines of European clubs for whom the World Cup winning captain was playing at the time, or clubs formed as an amalgam of other clubs, but the Champion's League being in any way relevant has killed both of those notions.

    Marseille were relegated the year after they won the Champion's League, if that knocks anything loose for anyone.

    If UCL is relevant, maybe getting through the group stage on first go?

    edit: There must be more teams that have done that though.

    Monaco were relegated after having been in the final, Juventus were relegated not long after that one they lost to Milan, and Marseille obviously fit the bill there too.

    Have Nantes ever played in a European final?

    Yep.

    Won a European Cup and then not given the right to defend it?

    Juventus is the Italian club, but you're still not spot on with the link - 2x Spanish and an English club also fit.

    They had won some tinpot competition that no longer exists in the eighties. I was looking to had they won anything when I thought it would've been the first winners of something.

    Could it be going down after winning the domestic league? That would fit at least Marseille, Juventus and Atletico I think.

    Aston Villa have won a European Cup and have been relegated.
    But then so have Nottingham Forest.

    English teams that have won the European Cup:

    Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest

    English teams that have played in a European Cup Final:

    Man United, Chelsea, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Leeds


    Leeds have played in a Final and been relegated.

    Again, just throwing things around.

    Edit: Leeds won the league and went to the Final in '74 and then finished 9th the next year.

    I'll go with Leeds, the link being going to the Final, losing, and failing to qualify for the tournament the next year.

    Edit2: I'd also throw in Atletico Madrid as one of the Spanish teams then (going to european cup final and failing to qualify the next season)

    Edit3: and I'll say Barcelona for the other, and if not them than Real.

    If the 'debatable' answer is Rangers and you, Floyd, are allowing some 'NewCo' wank to sneak in here I'm revoking your Blues Brothers membership.

    You're all very close and the debatable answer IS Rangers, but not for that reason.

    Leeds is the English team but not for that reason. Barcelona and Atletico are wrong.

    Damnit to hell. Thanks Jimmy.

    Edit:

    (ENG) Leeds
    (ESP)
    (ESP)
    (FRA) Marseille
    (FRA) Monaco
    (FRA) Nantes
    (ITA) Juventus


    I know Deportivo has played in the CL .. hmm. Sevilla... . Valencia have been.

    Oooh what about Malaga? Didn't they qualify and then get relegated? I know that's not the exact link but it seems to be on the right path.

    Edit: ooooh! How about teams that have qualified for the Champions League within 5 seasons of being promoted to their country's top division?

    edit2: No, cause then Leicester City would also qualify. FUCK.

    Sides who have gone to European finals on goal difference wins, with Rangers being debatable because they should have gone in place of the cheating shits Marseille?

    EDIT - Nope. Monaco fucked Chelsea to get there and there must be plenty more than that who've gone through on goal difference.

    That is the Rangers season in question, but that is not why it is debatable for this link.

    I fucking hated that question Floyd asked. Wasted an hour trying to figure it out.

    For Sincere's question: Morata or Dybala for Serie A, Di Maria for Ligue 1 and Aduriz or Alcacer for La Liga.

    It's Nantes that's throwing me. They've barely played in Europe. They had a couple of years in the early 2000's, when they won the French Cup and League in consecutive years.

    Assuming that list is chronological, it's a bit of a weird one. That or a domestic one, but it seems weird that a domestic question would be such a closed group.

    Abyemang must be one of the Bundesliga boys.

    edit: Hernandez or Bellarabi could be the other one.

    edit2: If Abyemang didn't get ten assists, Micky Ryan probably did.

    I think it may have something to do with leicester, even though they are not part of the question.

    He said that the season in question was 92/93 for Rangers. We played both Leeds and Marseille in the Champions League that year and bought a player off Marseille, which can't be a coincidence.

    Nantes at least haven't been relegated as far as I checked, which went back to the mid-80's.

    I'll put you all out of your misery. They are all Champions League (since the competition took up that name in 92/93) semi-finalists who were then subsequently relegated. So the Spanish clubs were Deportivo and Villarreal.

    Rangers is a bonus answer because in 92/93 they finished high enough to be classed in the top 4 of that year's Champions League, but there weren't actually any semi-finals in that season.

    What do they have in common? There are two other significantly less famous players in the list as well, who are omitted so as not to give it away.
