5 Football Trivia Questions That Will Split Your Group Chat

From the Golden Boots to memorable CL moments — five questions to test how sharp your football knowledge really is.

Every football fan thinks they know their stuff — until someone puts them on the spot. These five questions cover everything from this year's Golden Boot race to a World Cup record that's stood for decades. Read through, make your picks, and scroll to the bottom to see how you did. No cheating.

The Questions

1. Which player won the 2025/26 Premier League Golden Boot?

(a) Antoine Semenyo (b) Erling Haaland (c) Mohamed Salah (d) Igor Thiago

2. Who won the La Liga 2025/26 league title?

(a) Real Madrid (b) Atlético Madrid (c) Valencia (d) Barcelona

3. Which of these players has scored the most World Cup goals?

(a) Harry Kane (b) David Villa (c) James Rodríguez (d) Erling Haaland

4. Which year was the only World Cup that Marco Reus represented Germany at?

No multiple choice on this one - you'll have to dig into memory for it. Reus has long been one of the more snakebitten stars of German football when it comes to major tournaments, with injuries repeatedly costing him his chance on the biggest stage.

5. Who was the only player to miss a penalty for Chelsea in the 2012 Champions League Final?

Another one without options. Chelsea's 2012 Champions League triumph over Bayern Munich, on Bayern's own home ground, is remembered as one of the great underdog European nights - but the penalty shootout that sealed it wasn't perfect for every Chelsea taker.

Why Bother With Trivia Like This?

Questions like these are exactly the kind of thing that separate a casual fan from someone who really lives and breathes the sport. It's not just about knowing the current season's headlines - the best football trivia blends recent form with moments from tournament history that only stick with you if you were paying proper attention at the time.

If you want a running version of this kind of test - one that changes every day and pits you against your friends rather than just your own memory - that's exactly what FootEx's daily challenge is built for.
