The Athletic’s Friday football quiz question #43

Welcome to the 43rd edition of The Athletic’s Friday quiz question.

At the end of every week, we’ll serve up a poser from our vault of football conundrums. It won’t be easy (unless you’re really good), but what better way to head into the weekend than giving your soccer-loving brain some exercise? Chuck it in your group chats and see who knows their stuff.

Oh, and there’s no prize, except the quiet satisfaction of a job well done.

So, without any further delay…
