Father and Son Footballers who played for different nations

  A number of father-and-son footballers have surprisingly not played for different national teams due to a various number of reasons. Football often runs in the family.

The father sometimes becomes the star while the son barely can match the father’s stardom, or the other way around.

The Best Champions League Debutant Teams from European Top Five

By
  Only a small number of debutante sides from the European major league managed to progress to the latter stage in the UCL history. Competing in the Champions League has always been the target for all teams in the continent. Let alone the top sides, which is a definite aim for each and every season. No wonder that it is never easy for the elite clubs in the top major leagues to secure one berth in UCL.  However, such is not impossible. This season, three unlikely teams are making their Champions League debut. Bologna, Stade Brestois, and Girona are set to make one of the biggest steps in their history this week. They have eight games to prove whether they deserve to be in this most prestigious continental tournament.  In UCL history, only three teams have been able to reach further stages in the competition in their first appearance. One of them was even able to progress to the final four. Here are those three notable debutantes in UEFA’s number one club championshi...
