Football Manager 2024 cover was clearly based on an image from a UEFA Champions League match, which took place last season at the Estádio da Luz, between SL Benfica and Juventus, when the home team scored their fourth goal. The image was edited concerning the colors, players’ faces, and their numbering. In almost every other aspect, the original photograph was retained.
