Description of issue
For years, the game has been listing the defunct Inter-Cities Fairs Cup - no id as the precursor to the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League - id 1301396 and thus titles won in the former competition count as UEFA titles.
This is incorrect, as UEFA DOES NOT recognize these titles - both competitions were unrelated.
As an example in-game, Dinamo - id 432 is listed as having won one UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League.
This is incorrect, Dinamo has won one Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, see screenshot.
The club’s profile on the official UEFA web site confirms that Dinamo has not won any UEFA titles:
»UEFA club competition honours (runners-up in brackets): None«
Another example is Leeds United - id 671 - the game attributes them two UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League titles, which never happened - those were Inter-Cities Fairs Cup titles, see screenshot and thread.

The Inter-Cities Fairs Cup has to be added as a separate, defunct competition like the Mitropa Cup - id 16031980.
Titles should be attributed to the correct competition and not lumped together with the UEFA Cup/UEFA Europa League.
The affected clubs are:
Barcelona - id 1708 - 3 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup titles / 1 final (runners-up)
Leeds United - id 671 - 2 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup titles / 1 final (runners-up)
Dinamo - id 432 - 1 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup title / 1 final (runners-up)
Ferencváros - id 1055 -1 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup title / 1 final (runners-up)
Valencia - id 1775 - 1 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup title / 1 final (runners-up)
Real Zaragoza - 1749 - 1 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup title / 1 final (runners-up)
Arsenal London - id 602 - 1 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup title
Newcastle United - id 688 - 1 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup title
Roma - id 1100 - 1 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup title
The runners-ups were:
Juventus Torino - id 1139 - 2 finals (runners-up)
Birmingham City - id 609 - 2 finals (runners-up)
Anderlecht - id 256 - 1 final (runners-up)
Újpest - id 1064 - 1 final (runners-up)
