Can't think of any other eurovision winners that did that. If so in the European cup only Bayern Munich have done something similar by fiinishing second to Chelsea in 2012 but then going on to win in 2013 against Borussia Dortmund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason i mentioned Steve Coogan was the ABBA connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this about the 'ABBA' penalty system ? Penalties were generally taken in the form of team A then team B, than team A, then Team B. In 17/18 they introduced in some tournaments the idea of team A takes 1, then teams B takes 2, then Team A takes 1 when it got to sudden death Edited May 22, 2022 by laukat forgot a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
