Møller Nielsen's 1992 Denmark. A side that was not even supposed to be there, Schmeichel as the last line, and a European title that still reads like a short story.
If you came to beat a particular ghost, West Germany 1990 is the default other shirt.
Same club, other years in the database: 2026, 1998.

How this XI is built
Possession 46. This is not a keep-ball souvenir. Counter-attack 80: the point is the break, not the concert. The goalkeeper rating (90) is doing more work than the outfield glamour.
