1907-1908 Champions League Qualifiers

Recommended Posts

If there had been a European Champions League in the 1907-08 season, these would have been the qualifiers, the criteria being to finish Champions or runners-up in the national League of that country or in Spain's case, the cup winner and runner-up in the previous season:

Celtic 

Dundee 

RCF Paris 

Roubaix 

Freiburger FC 

Viktoria Berlin 

Servette 

Young Fellows (Not to be confused with Scunthorpe United) 

Madrid FC 

Club Bizcaya 

Ferencvaros 

Magyar Atletikai Club 

Milan (AC)

Torino 

Newcastle United 

Bristol City 

I reckon we would've been joint favourites along with Newcastle United. Wouldn't have minded seeing Viktoria Berlin at the Gate as long as she didn't bring David.

I think Young Fellows became Young Boys a year or two later. I'm unsure as to whether Madrid FC were the forerunners of Real or Atletico

99% sure that Madrid FC are Real Madrid. I know they weren't founded as "Real" Madrid, that title was given to them in the 1920's iirc. On the other hand I think Atleti have always had the "Athletic" prefix.

So I expect it's Real.

According to Wikipedia Madrid FC became Real Madrid in 1920 when King Alfonoso bestowed the royal title.

Are you sure they weren't the university arm of Young Boys. 

Just checked and they were formed in 1903 as Young Fellows of Zurich.  Young Boys were also around prior to 1907 so my hunch they were an earlier form of Young Boys was incorrect
