FC Barcelona 2–8 FC Bayern Munich → Barcelona 2–8 Bayern Munich – As per precedents, "Barcelona" is usually in favour of "FC Barcelona" in match titles, e.g. in Barcelona 6–1 Paris Saint-Germain, and similarly with "Bayern Munich" instead of "FC Bayern Munich", e.g. in Bayern Munich 1–2 Norwich City (1993).

Oppose - the correct naming convention AFAIK is to use the article of the name and the year, see e.g. Chelsea F.C. 2–4 Bradford City A.F.C. (2015). As such, I would suggest this is left where it is, or possibly moved to FC Barcelona 2–8 FC Bayern Munich (2020), though in cases like this I don't necessarily think the year is needed. Losing the 'FC' means it could refer to anything, a flight code or a train code or whatever. Having the 'FC' makes it clear it's a football match. Giant Snowman 16:31, 17 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oppose - I actually think the Barcelona 6–1 Paris Saint-Germain article should be moved to FC Barcelona 6–1 Paris Saint-Germain F.C. Same for FC Bayern Munich 1–2 Norwich City F.C. (1993). – Pee Jay 19:55, 17 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oppose The official team names have FC in them (as is the case with the example) and so this article is in the correct place while the "example" should be moved. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:41, 18 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Comment. I don't know, but many of the match articles seem to omit the "FC" or whatever in front, and it may be because of WP:COMMONNAME. But whatever, if as some of you said that the existing articles should be moved then this issue might be raised at WP:WikiProject Football. Eumat114 (Message) 11:04, 18 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oppose Per above. REDMAN 2019 (talk)
