Strange neutral venues

[boots60]

Tonight's game between Atletico & Real Madrid is being playes in Tallinn

 

Atletico & Real are less than 8 miles apart.

 

Tallinn is a round trip of over 4,500 miles.

 

Cant imagine too many Spaniards have travelled.

The venues that the national Super Cup’s take place in are generally mad. Tangier this week for the Spanish super Cup. Italy have held theirs in China and the French in Canada. Really surprised they haven’t played the English Community Shield abroad yet.

You know this is UEFA Super Cup tonight right?

Wasn’t the super cup always just played in Monaco? It’s only the past few years they’ve been moving it around I think.

Leeds v Stuttgart, Champions League 1993 / 4 ish - played at Camp Nou, Barcelona

 

3pts if you can name the scorer of the only goal in that game....

Thought they were taking it to countries such as Estonia and Czech Republic as they wouldn't usually get a look in anywhere else.

Think it was 2-1 and someone called Carl Shutt got the winner .

Yes that’s why I said ‘national super cup’s’ - the title of the thread was strange neutral venues

It was Carl Shutt, yes. I thought it was 1-0 to Leeds, but could be wrong.

 

EDIT: no, you're right mate. it was 2-1
