While at Indiana State, center Robbie Avila endured nicknames like “Larry Blurred” and “Larry Nerd” in mockery of his non-traditionally athletic appearance. Give the more affectionate nickname bestowed on Avila by radio host Matt Jones–it is a nearly perfect homophone of the highest scoring NBA player at Avila’s position, and an edgy reference to Avila’s light complexion.

Perhaps no individual player is more associated with Europa League success than Radamel Falcao. Falcao finished as the top scorer in both the 2010/11 and 2011/12 versions of the tournament, scoring a competition record 17 goals in 10/11. Falcao’s teams won both competitions as well, first Porto in 2011, and, following his club record transfer, Atletico Madrid in 2012, with Falcao becoming the first person to win back-to-back finals with different teams (he was also Man of the Match in both finals). In these finals, Falcao scored 3 total goals: 1 goal in Porto’s 1-0 win over Braga, and 2 goals in Atleti’s 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao. Can you name the other man who scored for Atleti in the 2012 Final, a Brazilian playmaker who with the victory also celebrated his second UEFA Cup/Europa League title, having won in 2009 with Werder Bremen?
