Leeds United vs Cardiff City History
The Whites have had some major ups and downs over the course of their extensive history, and their fanbase, which is immense, is a testament to just how much they have achieved over the years. During the lengthy reign of popular manager Don Revie, who would go on to leave the post and be replaced by Brian Clough for just 44 days, Leeds United won two domestic titles and a host of other items of silverware.
Jimmy Armfield then took the team to the European Cup Final in 1975, where they lost in contentious circumstances against Bayern Munich. In 1991/92, Howard Wilkinson led the team to another title just prior to the formation of the Premier League.
Cardiff City are another team with a rich history, albeit much of it spent in the lower leagues. In the 1920s, they were regulars in the top division and in 2018, they returned to the top flight, albeit Neil Warnock’s side failed to avoid the drop.
In 2007/08, the Bluebirds reached the FA Cup Final, running out losers against Portsmouth.
