🎯 Strategy Tips
Start by grouping the physical items in the yellow category (THINGS A GOALKEEPER TAKES ON THE PITCH). From there, map out Luka Modrić's club career path across Croatia, England, Spain, and Italy. For the remaining options, ensure you separate the club badges that won women's European silverware from individual Norwegian players who scored Champions League hat-tricks.
⚠️ Red Herring Warning: Watch out for "ARSENAL" and "TOTTENHAM"—while both represent the fierce North London derby in men's football, Tottenham belongs to Luka Modrić's club history, whereas Arsenal appears here for their historic 2007 Women's Champions League title.
