Close!
They were runners-up to Juventus in ‘77, but it was a year in the 70s we are looking for here...

Correct :) Arsenal played poorly but won it on pens. Reyes got sent off in extra time. It was the last game Vieira played for Arsenal too :(

Good question this, I love learning new things about language.
I don't know the answer. Aramaic would have been my guess too. My second guess is Maltese.
But seems unlikely...

not aramaic. likely spoken by jesus christ as a first language as the lingua franca of much of the near east. it's use has largely died out.

not maltese, the only semitic official language of the european union. a latinised form of arabic with significant sicilin and italian influences.

not hebrew. another ancient semitic language, unlike it's aramaic cousin has had successful modern revival and is the official language of the state of israel.

i'll accept. strictly speaking the moors spoke a dialect of arabic, rather than a distinct language. but it was the moorish rule of the iberian peninsula that led to the naming. called
al-andalus in arabic.

Hmm, difficult for me to come up with a question that relates the the Moors as we weren't taught about them at school and everything I know about them has been self-taught from random books about world history, with little remaining in my memory.
What I do remember is that the Moors were only one faction of Mohammedans to rule that area between the fall of Rome and the reconquest by El Cid in the early middle ages.
For example, in the Grand Strategy computer game Medieval: Total War (2002), at the start of the game in 1086 southern Spain is governed by a different faction, or, at least, they are not titled Moors.
What was the name of the Mohammedan faction that game chose to represent the rulers of southern Spain just before El Cid's reconquest? (a North African Berber faction that in reality came to aid the Moors rather than already having direct rule there)

Love a bit of Total War, but I never played that one, so I'll have to take a punt. Was it just the Berbers?

No, not just Berbers, though controlling some specific North African territories did enable you to use the Berber Camel units, which were great for scaring the more normal horse-based cavalry units of most nations.
