Isn't it nice when marketing initiatives actually result in pleasant things? Sony's partnership with the UEFA Champions League – the biggest club football competition on the planet, Americans – has been running for years now, but this season it's decided to create a pretty nifty app for the PlayStation 4. Unimaginatively dubbed PlayStation F.C., the free download will allow you to play Fantasy Football against your PlayStation Network pals – as well as pick the score and more.
One really nifty feature is that PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to relive classic matches from the tournament for free, including Barcelona's victory against Juventus earlier this year. You'll earn points for competing in the app's various mini-games, which will allow you to compare your footy knowledge against your friends, but will also enter you into a series of prize draws, with two tickets to this year's final in Milan being the grand prize. Not bad at all, eh?
The app is free to download right now through here, though it only appears to be available in Europe at the moment – perhaps for obvious reasons. The platform holder promises that it will continue to update the feature with fresh classic matches and more over the course of the season, including a minigame where you must predict the players that will have the biggest impact in each match. Exciting stuff, but for now, this author will get back to worrying about Fellaini as United's current centre forward.

1999 Bayern 1 - Utd 2. Drama, jammy.
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I remember the night. it was a school night and I stayed up to watch the entire game. It was such drama!
@ZeD Dem super subs.
@get2sammyb
I hope they add that glorious night when my beloved Middlesbrough came from two down to beat Ajax in Lisbon 4-2 to clinch our first European cup. Just hope they don't put the bit in when the alarm clock went off.
Cannot wait to get on this.. won tickets to the World Cup last year with Sony's comp.. so going for the double!!
Gonna get this downloading now
@ZeD Yeah, a whole ninety seconds of drama. You want real drama in a football match? Goals, decimations, comeback, impossibility becoming possible, mistakes, a penalty, great finishes, last-line defending, extra time and then the thing every football fan dreads yet loves - penalties.... AC Milan 3 Liverpool 3. That is drama. Greatest final of any football competition and one that will almost certainly never be bettered.
Dunno if anyone will see this but is anyone's matches darker than usual when watching?
