Excited, you turn on your TV, to find out who is the 'City of '17'. The screen shows the show presenter:



'Every year, a city or cities is or are named as the city of that year.

Before announcing this year's winner, let's take a look at some of the honoured previous winners...

2002 - London
2006 - Manchester and Barcelona
2010 - Manchester and London, London receiving it twice
2014 - Barcelona and Madrid
2015 - London and Barcelona
2016 - Liverpool and Barcelona
2017 - ??????

And now to present the winner of the City of '17.


The winner is...'



At this point, the connection is typically cut off, as your house has a power cut and you are left fuming in the darkness.

Can you work out who won the "City of '17"?

  • $\begingroup$ If you mean "el clásico", that's just an inofficial name given to football matches between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. These occur at least twice every season and often there are other encounters in national and Euroean cup ties. $\endgroup$
