From the earliest FA Cup finals in the 1870s to the glittering world of 21st-century Champions League matches contested by squads of millionaires, 'The Times' has been at pitchside to write the history of football as it has happened. It is story of great matches: Hungary's victory over England at Wembley in 1953, Manchester United's triumph over Benfica in the 1968 European Cup, Liverpool's remarkable recovery to win the Champions League in Istanbul in 2005. It is a story of dazzling individual performances: Stanley Matthews finally winning an FA Cup at Wembley in 1953, Bobby Moore giving a masterclass in defending for England against Brazil in the 1970 World Cup, Cristiano Ronaldo's virtuoso performance as Real Madrid won the 2017 Champions League.
