THE ‘HERE’S ONE I MADE EARLIER’ AWARD FOR BEST TIFO
Some honourable mentions go to Djurgardens, Leicester and Borussia Dortmund (the latter particularly pertinent following the attack on the club’s team coach ahead of the Champions League clash with Monaco) for their fantastic tifos this season, but the best of the bunch has to be Atletico Madrid’s. When Real Madrid mocked their neighbours ahead of the opening leg of their Champions League semi-final tie with a stadium-wide banner that highlighted their 2014 and 2016 final victories, Los Colchoneros’ supporters hit back a week later by simply saying: ‘[We’re] proud of not being like you.’ Ooh, catty!
