Crossover's current collection draws on five men's Champions League finals, from 2011 through 2015. Each final contributes two starting-eleven sets, and selected elevens also support nationality-filtered questions.
Knowing the matchups gives you a framework for recall. It does not replace checking the starters, and this guide does not reproduce the full lineups. Use the official links to investigate one match at a time.
Put the five matchups in order
The 2011 final paired Barcelona with Manchester United. The official UEFA lineup record is the source for both starting elevens in that edition.
The 2012 final paired Bayern München with Chelsea. Use the 2012 UEFA lineup record to distinguish the starters from the other names associated with that match.
The 2013 final paired Borussia Dortmund with Bayern München. The 2013 official lineup gives a separate match-specific check; do not transfer Bayern's previous year's eleven wholesale into this one.
The 2014 final paired Real Madrid with Atlético de Madrid. Its UEFA lineup page and official full-time report provide the historical records.
The 2015 final paired Juventus with Barcelona. Check the official 2015 lineup rather than assuming Barcelona's earlier final provides an unchanged set of teammates.
Understand what these years define
These five matches give the mode a bounded source collection. They are not presented as the only important finals or a complete test of Champions League knowledge. The selection makes the questions specific enough to check against named records.
The crossover rules and scope guide explains the current fourteen-set collection and seven-question games. A player can appear across several sets without becoming several different identities.
The collection's documented historical cutoff is 30 June 2024. Later transfers and appearances do not alter who started these earlier finals.
Give each club its own page
For each year, create two small spaces headed by the club names. Record a few remembered starters and mark uncertain names. Keep the sides separate even if your strongest memory is a shared match event.
The two-finalists recall method helps prevent a familiar opponent from drifting into the wrong eleven. A player associated with the night is not automatically associated with the side named in your prompt.
Do not use victory or defeat as a shortcut for starter status. Both sides have eligible starting elevens in the collection, and a memorable substitute can belong to either side.
Add context only when it is checked
A venue, a match phase or a particular storyline may help anchor the year. Add such details from the official report rather than relying on a loosely remembered montage.
For example, the 2014 report records the final in Lisbon and a result after extra time. Those details locate the occasion; they do not identify every eligible starter. Keep context and lineup evidence as separate parts of the note.
The UEFA lineup reading guide explains how to verify the specific starter condition. When nationality is added, check that additional condition rather than assuming the club's country supplies the answer.
Move from context into a game
Choose one final you can place and attempt a short reconstruction before viewing its names. Correct the gaps from the source, then play crossover when you are ready for a complete session.
The game waits until completion to reveal its full answer review. Use that review to choose the next match or relationship to study, rather than trying to absorb all ten elevens at once. A clear year-and-club framework gives each new name somewhere accurate to belong.
