Last night was historic for Sparta Prague, as they secured their place in the UEFA Champions League group stage for the first time since the 2005/06 season by defeating Swedish side Malmö 2-0 for the second time.
Sparta has a rich history of playing in the Champions League group stage, but their last appearance was nearly two decades ago. Since then, the "Reds" have repeatedly tried to advance through the qualifiers, only to fall short each time.
To celebrate their return to the Champions League, Sparta announced their achievement on their X page with a popular meme featuring Mr. Bean. In the meme, Mr. Bean boards a plane and appears to show his Champions League ticket to the teams Sparta defeated in the qualifiers: Shamrock Rovers, FCSB, and Malmö. He then enters the VIP section, greeting Europe's top clubs.
As a reminder, UEFA officially unveiled the new Champions League ball today. The group stage draw will take place tomorrow, August 29.
