I am German, Liverpool is my club but I attend most Bayern home games. The difference is Bayern Munich for e.g has a dedicated section for fans chanting every second, sometimes the rest of the stadium goes quiet. But in anfield everyone is in unison which explains the quietness. I’m glad you enjoyed your time at anfield!
Yep completely true!!
Ach du plastic fan
@@sharkymeldrew LOL explain plastic fan? i can say when i was a kid the only fotball we could see was from England and thats why i support Liverpool, when i got bigger i go too matches too see the club in my town and support them ofc and support Liverpool. Am i a plastic fan? noway, i shout,cry and jump same on both games i watch on TV. Good vidoe m8s, keep up the work!!! come to Stockholm and see one of our derbys, Djurgården, Hammarby or Solna aik.
@@larsmagnusson8580 u changed ur profile pic lad
European nights are the best,
The crowd noise at Anfield is organic - there's no pre-planned song list, no trumpeteer banging out their standard fanfares, no drummers standing in the home end, banging away regardless of what is happening in front of them; every game will have its own unique 90 minutes of noise. That's why it is an atmosphere, not just a soundtrack.
Well said mate well said
That‘s very disrespectful to the ultra groups of the world. You can praise Anfield without bringing down the best fans worldwide.
@@Fiago I mean no disrespect, it's a difference. They want continual drums and set lists of songs - that's their choice, their culture. Liverpool culture is wit, imagination, improvisation. One of our best known crowd moments was when the crowd were chanting "Attack, attack, attack attack attack" but then a cat wandered onto the pitch. Without pause, the chant changed into "A cat, a cat, a cat a cat a cat". I don't think that would be possible if there was a constant soundtrack. It's a matter of opinion though - you pointed out that even in a huge match, packed with incident, there were moments of near silence; unthinkable for most German games. Pointing it out isn't an attack on Anfield fans, it's showing a difference. Football would be a duller game if every fanbase was the same.
The Ultra groups are a lot better than the premier league by a mile. English fans are a joke and money has took over the game now. We are becoming more like the yanks with it just being a business and 0 passion anymore from the fans. At least the Ultras are going out every match and enjoying the day of it and not just sat there until their team score a goal. That's the difference between ultras and English fans.
@@Fiago it’s not disrespectful at all lol
Liverpool fanbase always leaves me awestruck. Hoping forward to witness the anfield atmosphere soon
Loved it too!
It's dog shit
I saw the Liverpool v Ajax match this season. Had the same thoughts. Quiet at times but when some action happens, oh my god does it get loud.
I think Liverpool fans react to situations in the game to help lift the team in that moment.
The ajax ultras on the other hand were singing almost all game long regardless of what was happening.
Don't know which is better, but I personally love the targeted style of chanting to situations, especially when bantering the opposition
Don’t come mate are locals need the tickets more than use ! Go to your local club man joke 😤
@@Jsambo chill out lad , we’ve got a massive fanbase, i know touts and tourist are killing the atmosphere but that’s the Clubs fault with their nfc and QRs.
All you need to do is look at all the quotes from legendary ex footballers on anfield. It’s a unique atmosphere. Especially in European ties.
Yeah!!
Just ask barca players who played in the 4-0 match
Overrated only sing when u wining mate admit it
@@masonclark9110 You're absolutely right because we were not 3-0 down against Barcelona were we?🙄
@@Fiago U need to be on the pitch to experience that
Comeback on a Champions League night it's a far better experience. Majority of the fans that come to weekend games are people just like yourself that have come for the first time or with family. When it's a round of 16 on a Tuesday/Wednesday night the meaning of the Anfield experience truly comes alive!
Will 100% do!
@@Fiago Top guy! Will be awaiting the vlog 👍🏽 Glad you enjoyed the first time experience 👊🏾
Fully agree with what you said, CL night and less tourists, more vocal fans in the crowd.
Had some really great CL nights at Anfield and come out of there hardly able to talk.
I went to the inter game last year and the MC this year. I’d argue that second half has been better than most atmospheres ever. It was insane
@@Fiago yer its def the european night .. you see your hair floundering in that vid,,, you wont have any ears left on those nights 🤣😂
As an egyptian, watching the match from home was something special. Been a fan for 6 years or about since Salah went to liverpool. It’s grown into a love for the club and not just Salah himself. But watching that Salah goal live was AMAZING. I started yelling in arabic I was so happy to see him back on form. Especially since i didn’t know if that rangers hatrick was a one off thing.
Wow amazing man 🔥
Hope Salah regains his form. The team need him.
Same man
I had a young Egyptian girl and her mum sat next to me last season when Mo broke away to score. The young girl was hyper-ventilating as Mo ran in on goal. I thought she would faint in her excitement. Great to see.
@@martinmcnulty8155 40+G/A for club and country this season
Aussie Liverpool fan for 50 years. Never been to the UK but I have seen them three times when they've traveled to Australia for pre-season tours including one game with 95,000 in attendance. Thanks for making this video as it shows me just what it is like to be inside Anfield. #YNWA
The Anfield atmosphere has always depended on the performance, the opposition and when the team needs backing. It’s never been consistently loud, even in the 70’s and 80’s. Obviously most of us would like it to be a wall of singing for 90 minutes, but the visceral nature of it is what makes it what it is. It’s like an orchestra and conductor. It can be bloody awful sometimes, a Saturday mid day against Southampton (no offence Southampton) or when we’re cruising. But it can be like nothing else when it really matters. Personally, the constant drone of ultras does nothing for me. It tells me nothing about the game. I like the crowd to react to the play, including the away fans (who can be excruciatingly embarrassing themselves sometimes). But that’s just me.
It changed a lot when stadiums went from standing to sitting but it is still an amazing crowd but mainly on a European night
I think a lot changed after COVID
Completely agree. Visiting fans who turn up and go away saying it’s a library are usually after games that are not a knife edge. As Liverpool are successful, most teams they play you are not in fear of losing and doesn’t mean so much but once there is a lot on the line or there’s a sense of injustice or wrong doing then that’s when you will see anfield come to life.
There are many other factors that have changed the atmosphere over the last 15 years in particular. It is generally an ageing crowd, especially in the Kop. Very few youngsters. The cost of the game and the difficulty getting tickets means that young groups of people cannot regularly stand together and create a regular atmosphere. The Scouse core has dwindled, and the main thing that has been lost at Anfield is the quick, witty retort to away fans because of it. It’s a dispirit crowd now with no ultimate direction. The club could make the atmosphere so much better by creating large sections of affordable season tickets for young local residents to form collectives and come up with new songs and traditions for the rest of the ground to follow, but it doesn’t benefit them financially - so they won’t.
I also dislike the constant drone of European games. Don’t get me started at fans with drums…
Thanks lads, great video. My seat is about 30 to the left of where you sat. I've not missed a home game since 1972. If you want an impartial view of the atmosphere created by LFC fans read the view of these two football legends:
"I felt the power of Anfield, it was magnificent" - Jose Mourinho after Champions League semi-final defeat 2005.
"There's not one club in Europe with an anthem like You'll Never Walk Alone. There's not one club in the world so united with the fans. I sat there watching the Liverpool fans and they sent shivers down my spine. A mass of 40,000 people became one force behind their team. That's something not many teams have. For that I admire Liverpool more than anything." Dutch legend Johan Cruyff after Istanbul 2005 Champions League Final.
This is what I love about English football it’s reactive to what is happening on the pitch. When I go to German games the noise is good but it’s like a constant beat and doesn’t matter sometimes what is happening on the pitch, I’ve literally looked at the fans behind the goal sometimes with the cheerleader on the platform and a goal has gone in and they don’t react sometimes as their mid chant. I don’t think it gets as explosive as it can get in England.
In some points you are right. But in my opinion the german way is better. In England, If the game is boring there isnt any noise. In Germany tho the fans support their team regardless of the score or how nice the game is. Also it is not true that germans dont react to a goal.
@@einfachso5185 It's a Spectrum,
One direction is reactive, the other is pre active
I would suggest that praise inspires players, it's all about that magic balance,
The German games are far superior when it comes to fans and noise. I stopped wasting time, with English games, after attending one.
@@einfachso5185 In Bundesliga most games are boring so the fans need to cheer or die of bordom, lol. In Eastern Europe the fans are crazy loud and on drugs, going crazy all game, but the football there is utter garbage. So yes, I prefer exiting games with less crazy fans.
@@sivaramlord9151 you’ve probably never attended one 😂 and if you did, you no longer watch English football because of 1 match😂 even though there are 92 teams in the pyramid😂 get a grip
Glad you enjoyed it boys 👏👏⚽️
🙌
LOL! Did you arrange the tickets then Jurgen 🤣
The silence is usually nerves bro. As much as we get up for the fight, we are playing city and they are very dangerous 😅
Glad you and your mate enjoyed your time at Anfield. From a Liverpool fan who hasn't been, it just makes me want to go even more now. Have a safe travel home 👍
Thanks mate!! You‘ll 100% make it eventually 🙌
Why don't you go
@@christhomas5353 because I live in Scotland and from where I am, to get to Liverpool it’s like a 8-9 hour drive. I do have extended Scouse family members there hence why I support Liverpool but we don’t really visit.
I've attended a lot of Liverpool games, what I'd say is anfield atmosphere is incredible for the big games. But for games against smaller teams it can be quite lacklustre.
same at the etihad
real madrid disagree
Liverpool fans are really good, but there are lots and lots of elderly fans in the ground who barely sing or make noise. I dont mind them because they are loyal fans, but they dont help that atmosphere.
Good point
It's the same at City these days ...
Yes but they have been coming for years. You can't just replace them. I think the increased capacity will help
In general they don't, but if they see something truly rare, they sing and shout like they are young again. I remember how hoarse Ian Rush sounded after the Barcelona comeback.
Portsmouth fan here, I have been to Anfield several times and I can honestly say when the home fans start singing you’ll never walk alone it is absolutely awesome and gets to you emotionally with goose bumps……being a sports fan the only thing I can think of to match it is when the Welsh sing their national anthem at rugby union internationals. Not a Liverpool fan but 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I think it's very important you added the moment at 5:05, because I believe Anfield is the best 'reactionary' crowd in the world. That has it's good and bad sides.
For example, when we played Dortmund in 2016, you could argue Dortmund had the more 'constant' noise in there ground, they sing and bang a drum almost at the exact same noise from minute 1 to minute 90. That too can have it's good and bad sides. But, Liverpool never were 'rattled' by the atmosphere at the Signul Igunda Park. I feel a constant noise is, not real? It feels forced and an opposition team just gets used to it.
When Dortmund came to Anfield, there's a moment when Dortmund are WINNING 3-2, Liverpool have just won a corner. And the crowd is ROARING, the Dortmund players, lead by Hummles gather into a little huddle in front of the Kop for a little pep talk, because they can all feel their heads going, they are being caught up in the crowd atmosphere, thats reacting to the moment. Dortmund, an hour beforehand were cool, calm, calculated and raced into a 2-0 lead while the atmosphere was 'flat'. But then Anfield reacted, it's a very emotional stadium. We all know what happened that night.
Likewise with Barcelona in the 4-0, most fans I knew went there utterly depressed from Kompany's goal the night before, and just "went because I feel like I have to" and not because they wanted to, but an hour later they were roaring at the top of their voices while a team that had tore them apart just a week beforehand were completely frozen and shell shocked.
That's Anfield.
edit: sorry you basically say this yourself at the end, but I think that's why I prefer to have an emotional stadium, that kicks every ball with the team.
the atmosphere in the dortmund game was one of the best i've experienced. I remember when it went 2-0 early, the crowd dropped a bit, for a few minutes, then they picke dup back up again, the team reacted, and it was absolutely bouncing from that point on, even when we conceded again. it was an insane atmosphere.
Probably the best summary so far yeah. On the other hand many people say that fans who only support when the team is doing well aren't real fans and I somehow also get that but you need the context here at Anfield...it's just different
@@Fiago Its not just when we are doing well, if for example the team are losing the crowd would pump up the team to an extreme if they are showing signs of fight. On the other hand, if the team is just letting it happen, it can get quiet. The crowd and the team feed of each other.
In the world? I didnt know europe was ''the world'' unbelievable. Go to South America then tell us
@@bullsharkdb Argentine crowds are probably the biggest example of a forced atmosphere. That was my whole entire point, you are not effecting anyone if you are constantly just at the same noise. You’re not reacting to something, you’re essentially having a party while a game a football is being played. I don’t ever want my crowd to be like that, it’s not authentic. It’s manufactured bs, just my opinion.
9:57 - In the times I've been to Anfield, my bus home is at a certain time and if there's too much time added on (like in this game), by the time the game ends, it will take twice as long to get out because of the queue - but the bus is only once an hour. This is especially the case when it's a match on Sunday or the evenings. Also, if you drive to Anfield and leave at the end of the game, the traffic is horrible and you get stuck in a jam for literally hours. Hope that clarifies the situation.
Fair enough!
@@Fiago Can you really understand that? There are fans who put in hundreds of miles and countless hours to support the team at away games. And then you leave one of the biggest games, which is also on the brink, even though you can casually catch a local bus just an hour later? There are people who dream of being able to see the final minutes of a game like this.
I don't get that myself. Biggest game of the season so far, 1-0 up and you leave early so you can get home quicker...
true but not in this game
@@christiangwenner6384 I remember screaming at the tv when arsenal were beating bodo glimt at the emirates and one of the stands was emptying out quickly when they were like 3-0 up. All the bodo fans stayed until the whistle as well
Glad you enjoyed it Brother, you chose a prefect game. Hope you enjoyed not only the match, but the city also ;-)
Thank you for this video! Chicago Liverpool fan here-hoping I get to Anfield next season. Really appreciate your fair representation. Seen game at Allianz-amazing experience. Sat near visiting fans-Leverkusen-despite a heavy defeat, their fans cheered the entire time. Bayern’s Ultras rocked the entire match. Cheers
Class!!
I can’t believe you actually went there bro, what a legend man cherish it bro this is really a privilege i really hope i can visit old trafford one day 🙏
Hurry up and visit Mold Trafford, it's almost derelict.
@@walkslad not as bad as "good"ison park
We have a very, what you would call a "Reactive" very knowledgeable football crowd. Thats why during tense moments it will often go silent. I always say to my dad that sometimes our fans need a big catalyst (bad tackle or opposition player being an asshole) to get the crowd up and at it. But once that happens it can be ferociously loud.
But thats what I love about ours, and English fans in general compared to some continental games. They are "in the game" and will react to every single small micro moment as well as the big ones.
Glad you picked a good game to go to. It must have been wild in that second half lol.
You are right and though I am in my 7th decade of attending games in London,I had never thought about it like that before though when I remember THESE Liverpool fans then they are hard to beat with 28,000 singing and swaying at The Kop End.

Please tell me what you think.
Thx for taking the viewers inside Anfield. Never been to a Prem game. Enjoyed it!
Glad you did!!
When Anfield is at its best, there is nowhere better. Your right that when it goes quiet, it goes really quiet but winning or losing, this lot are always behind there team. They feel every moment. It's just an amazing place to be. A great video this pal. Love your honesty.
True!! Thanks for the feedback Darren
@@Fiago Goodison is better
You got lucky because it was a big game against man city our rivals over the last few years and it was a must win for us, if we were playing bournemouth or wolves you would of had a completely different experience
Same with every team big games atmosphere is obviously going to be better
I wouldn’t say he got lucky when he made the decision to go to this game. He knew this would be the one to go to
@@iJaxy10 then my point still stands, he should go when we play 1 of the so called lesser teams because our atmosphere is shocking
@@paulstephenson2872 but why would you want to go to a game like that as a non Liverpool supporter. Obviously gonna want to get a good game with a good atmosphere
@@iJaxy10 the point of him going was to see if anfield was a so called library then he needs to go when we play a so called smaller team because the atmosphere is shocking
Fans have more of an impact on the players and refs this way. If you ever saw a horror movie with jump scare every 2 min you stopped being scared after 15-20min. But in a horror movie with "only" 7-8 realy well planned jump scares you get scared every time. That's how Liverpool crowd is imo. They watch the game and feel when they need to act to help their team. And this is coming from guy who lives in Split where Torcida is non stop supporting Hajduk for full 90min
I went to Anfield On a tour and I loved it. The stadium was amazing and the museum.
Next stop is a game.
YNWA
The tour guide said who doesn’t support Lfc and someone said Borath or something and he shouted it and it was so loud. It was amplified and he explained that is the reason the roof is lowered.
Big thank you for sharing these experiences of the beautiful game.
I’m both a St.Pauli fan and Liverpool fan, I find the difference between German and English fans is really the atmosphere regarding chants. The German Ultras in every team seem to do the same thing, just bang drums and sing Ole non stop. I think English fans seem to show more backing behind their team with personal chants. With that being said St.Pauli have an unreal atmosphere when the fans sing their personal chants or just back the team in general it’s something else.
Im a fan of the ultra culture but the thing that I love about Liverpool fans and chants is that they really feel connected to the players. When they scream "Mo Salah!" It just hits different
Isn’t it a racist club?
@@sharkymeldrew anything but, St.Pauli is literally known to be a Left Wing for the people club
see you tomorrow in freiburg
@@einfachso5185 Ich freue mich auf ein gutes Spiel 🤝🏻

@@adamahmed2449 lucky man
This video popped up in my recommendations so I checked it out. It was outstanding! Watched a few more of your posts and I have to say that you might have the best job in the entire world. Subscribed
The day you posted dortmund vs Bayern match video, i requested you to do the same on El classico😁
Then you replied me that you already have a match to attend on the same day!
But actually you choosed the right one... Honestly El classico where not that much thrilling one as expected, Real madrid just dominated on Barca.
But this match💥 Absolute thriller, The intensity, the heat! And overall the THE ANFIELD🤯
Yeah true haha, glad you still enjoyed it even tho it wasn‘t the Clasico!
@@Fiago bro idk if you'll ever see this but please attend Roma vs Lazio............I'm a Roma fan, so please try if you can!
Great VLOG, hope that puts you even more on the map internationally! Keep going
Thanks bro!
Great video Fiago and you captured the essence very well! One thing I would recommend next time is avoid the fan park outside the stadium, and go to the pubs around the stadium instead. The pub is the more traditional pre-match routine for most people, and you can get more singing (the beers are much cheaper too....). The fan park in England is a much more modern concept, and one that most people outside of the families tend to avoid.
Oh thanks for that info mate wasn't aware!! Will defo do that next time
Super interesting take on it. Thanks for the video.
I really enjoyed this video. I knew the score of the match and was still fist pumping when Salah scored and hearing the fans sing YNWA always tugs at my heart.
Really enjoyed your video. I’ve supported the Reds for close to 50 flipping years! Yeah, I’m old but I started really young. Went to all of the matches in the 80’s and the atmosphere was incredible with a standing room Kop. My ears would literally ring after the match as it was so loud. I live in Canada now so haven’t been recently and the atmosphere appears different from what I experienced. There are definitely more quiet spells but when it’s on, it’s really on. European nights under the lights against good opponents is unparalleled in my opinion. In the Premier it seems to depend on the opposition.
I have a question for you Fiago. Watching you when they were belting out YNWA and Allez Allez Allez it appeared to affect you in an almost, forgive me for saying, religious way. I ask because that’s how I always feel. Hairs on the back of your neck, almost tears in your eyes it’s so incredible. Is that how it felt to you? I could tell that you really “felt” it at the very least.
Anyway, this was a fantastic video. Your English is superb and you’ve earned yourself a new subscriber. Really interested to follow you on your travels. Love that you visited Anfield. ( As an aside my youngest boys middle name is Anfield as I took my Canadian wife to a match on our first date! 😊)

Hey Mark, thanks for your kind feedback!! You‘re right there, it really got to me when they sang the iconic songs. I often really feel the atmosphere and have to cheer for the home team (same in Frankfurt, Dortmund etc) but here it was special. Can imagine with the standing in the 80s it got even crazier tho!! You‘re so lucky to have experienced that 🙌
THESE Liverpool fans then they are hard to beat with 28,000 singing and swaying at The Kop End.

More coming! :D
@@Fiago yay!!
I really enjoyed watching this. Good job covering the atmosphere. I hope I can visit Anfield some day myself.
Me too 😊
Thanks for this post . It was literally as if I was in Anfield watching this match . It has been my cherished dream to watch a match at Anfield . I live very far away in Kolkata , india but hope that some day my cherished dream will come true .
THIS is why I make those videos man. So so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Hope you realise your dream...you can do it,if you want it enough. I’ve been to Calcutta many times-Suder Street,and absolutely love your city. It would be fantastic to know you made it over...good luck brother!
Love this video mate, I'm a lifelong Liverpool supporter and yes, you're right, Anfield is suddenly THERE when you walk down the street. The atmosphere, in a game like this is exceptional. Well done my German friend :)
Thank you for capturing these moment. One day I will be there to take it in myself🔥
Good vid by the way best highlights on the net. BTW them silent moments are the tension that occurs during a 0-0 moment.
When it erupts its the loudest but when its tense it gets quiet.
Glad you enjoyed the game and YNWA singing.
You will get more noise from the kop. Top part of main stand is thec quietest
Yes, great video! Got to remember that anfield is currently only 54, 000 capacity, which is way lot less then Dortmond or Byerns. This time next year will be 61,000 and even louder!
True good point it‘s in fact a small stadium in relation to its icon status. Make that 80k and it might be undefeated as the best in Europe
@@Fiago yes. And 6 years ago it was literally only 45,000 too. Thinking about it, that's way to small for a club on Liverpools size!
@@Fiago There are smaller grounds with better atmosphere (and bigger with worse) in the PL so that blows your theory right out of the water.
No those extra seats will just get filled with tourists. Look at west ham. One of the best fanbases in the country at the boleyn. Now their home support is utter shite
It's seemingly impossible to get tickets for tourists so I wouldn't worry much about that!
its soo good to see you succeed on youtube man!!
Thanks Avar!!
Great video giving a good idea of what it's like.
Liverpool supporters are known as the most knowledgeable, so you'll get those quiet periods for that reason.
If you ever get a chance, journey to Melbourne, Australia, take in an AFL (Aussie Rules) game at The MCG, involving teams from Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond. Biggest would be the ANZAC Day (25 April) game between Collingwood and Essendon, 90k-100k people, constant action and fan noise. No funny chants or such, but it'd be one of the most amazing sporting events you could attend.
great review and vlog. bit jealous! glad you had a nice experience.
next to watch: paderborn-hsv in iconic benteler arena away stands.
Danke haha. Iconic Paderborn fans 😂🙌
You were Superb Guys - Reds for the Day!! Your English was Fantastic we are Gonna have to work on your Scouse but you were Brilliant! Glad you enjoyed and hope you had a good journey back home!! Come on you Redmen! YNWA!!
Appreciate it Andrew!! 🙌 defo my favorite English club
All Joking aside you are both are both a Massive Credit to Germany. You are natural Media Guys, made for it.Take a Bow you deserve one! I Loved the way you were Amazed the Anfield Stadium was surrounded by Terraces of houses. it was Brilliant. Remember Anfield and Liverpool FC is ALL about the people not Massive Arabian Bank Accounts building Breeze Block Jungles! Liverpool is a peoples Club and always will be. I have been going to Anfield since 1967. I was chosen for Trials at the club when i was a Teenager and was very proud. I remember the Spion Kop where you climbed the steps behind the Kop and you came out right at the Top. Your first view of Anfield! Was a very dramatic one on those days! To stand on the Kop and watch Dalglish and Rush tear up Europe and Man Utd was indeed a great pleasure never forgotten with 20,00 Comedians!!!! But you Guys were Fantastic!! Truly!! Have a good one Guys!! I wish you both well for the future. Cheers Andy.
LFC fan here. Glad you had a good time mates. try out Ellen Road; its all worth it just for the intro: marching on together:)
Nice good to know mate!!
Hands down the best support in English football.
💙💛🤍
The lovely couple behind you, I just wanna give them a hug😍 You can hear a 100s of beautiful stories from them about the club and their journey.
100% 🙌🙌
thanks for the tour man.this is super super cool!!regards from Indonesia.someday i will be there at my promised land,ANFIELD!! YNWA🔴
hopefully you had a good night out in town too. 🍺the crowd comes alive on the big nights and when it needs to, barca being a good example, but not always for your 12.30 vs just another team.
There isn't really an ultra culture so nobody with a drum directing a stand, it's a bit more spontaneous.
Great video. Good description of the atmosphere. Even when anfield is loud it has periods of the game we’re it’s quiet, it’s not like Germany or other European countries were you have an ultra culture. Personally (though both styles have their merits) I prefer it our way, it’s more spontaneous and in tune with the game, rather than a constant drone and some shirtless fella banging a drum, that has no relation to the game. To me atmosphere is more than just singing it’s tension, shouting for every throw in, getting on the oppositions backs, cheering for every tackle etc. The flip side to this is there are many games we’re the atmosphere is poor.
Another thing is were you sitting. You would’ve experienced the atmosphere more intensely in the Kop. Great vid though will watch others now
So good to see your passion for football, and Anfield rocks most of the time. And the anthem send shivers all over your body
Its the way anfield responds to the game which makes it special. Imagine being a player and hearing the stadium cheering for each involvement you make its like rewarding the players with a high when they are doing good so that players always try to get the next cheer. Its like the stadium demands high performance. So the silence makes sense because its a reaction to the real game not an ambient sound.
I got goosebumps from that YNWA bit
Fiago visiting Liverpool, it doesn't get much better than this
indeed

Thank you for the video, it is amazing. Love it!

Good video and a top guy with a balanced opinion. Keep it up.
Cannot wait for "De Klassieker" in January and for you to possibly witness how beautiful De Kuip is!
Great vlog also btw i enjoyed it alot!
The atmosphere on the original kop is where the legend was born I'm so thankful I was around to experience it
I was a bit worried when I saw the title. I love your tiktok stuff and now I can say that I love your UA-cam stuff too 👍. You were totally fair about the atmosphere, most of the time though when the game is 0-0 and edgy the levels will drop. As you noted though as soon as Liverpool get on top the levels rise. Fair play for having a go at singing the songs too. Great video keep up the good work 👍
Thanks mate appreciate the feedback 🙌
Its been a while since i was at anfield. 6 years or so i watched a champions league game and the atmosphere then was glorious
Which game did you watch?
Hell of a game you decided to visit!
Yeah got lucky!
Great video. Really enjoyed it, thanks.
Dude I felt like i was there! Another great video! I hope you can visit your neighboring country for a PSG game this season.
Means a lot man!!
Great vlog, glad you witnessed Anfield. Yes LFC and Cty is the big game, but LFC and Man Utd is the one to go to. Or, better still, a European night at Anfield takes some beating. Newly subbed 👍
Thanks man!
Atmosphere at Anfield is of course going to differ from a huge game against quality opposition to a 12pm early kick off where everyone is tired and hungover against your Burnley’s of the world. It’s normal. That’s where the myth comes from that the atmosphere is not what it is cracked up to be. Fans of lesser sides turning up wondering why the atmosphere isn’t electric with the fans in full voice the whole 90 mins like they’ve seen on the telly or heard about. For them it is the World Cup final, where as for Liverpool it is just a run of the mill game that in all honesty they are expecting to win comfortably. The fans will still get behind the team but they aren’t gonna be up for it the same as they are for a Champions League semi final against Barcelona - and you’d be deluded to expect or think otherwise
Yeah that makes sense of course
Really nice job. Enjoyed that
I could be wrong; I imagine with Liverpool's poor start to the season there would have been quite a bit of anxiety in the stadium. It was pretty much a must win game really. I think pretty much every Liverpool champions league game at Anfield I've seen on T.V has sent shivers down the spine with the atmosphere. On a side note, Emirates stadium is rocking this season.
You‘re probably right there! And I will hopefully go to the Emirates soon 🙏
Except against PSV the emirates went old fashioned and back to what it used to be with away fans making all the noise
Apsalutely loved this mate 👌 Y N W A !!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
The same goes for other stadiums, for example, the Stretford end in old Trafford. That section is dedicated for the fully passionate fans, and omg the atmosphere is 🔥🔥🔥 .
Great review mate 👍
What an amazing game for your first ever Premier League game live
How he get a ticket. They're impossible
Liverpool fans arent constantly loud (england in general) like youll find in other places but Liverpool's fans feel so much more connected to the pitch than any other stadium in the world. Theres just nothing quite like 60,000 fans singing YNWA or screaming ALLEZ. The stadium reacts to the pitch both in a good way and a bad way sometimes. I think once the stadium expands and we'll be able to get a younger crowd in it'll get even louder. Since the tickets are pretty expensive a lot of the younger more energetic fans cant make it to most games and that plays a big part in it.
Anfield doesn't hold 60,000.
I'm been to Candlestick Park quite a few times.
Unless it's a big game it's like a fukcing library.
And younger fans will never get in.
Liverpool only has 25,000 season tickets and only 7000 of those live in Liverpool.
Most tickets go to outsiders and tourists.
How do you think this guy got a ticket ?
My mate has been on the waiting list for 15 years.
He was told recently it'll take another 10........and he's from Liverpool.
@@andyd2528 53,000
@@BrandonGiordano 7,000 without tickets .
Who would have thought it ?
Are they fake ones ?
@@andyd2528 im confused what youre trying to say. Im just saying that the official capacity of Anfield is 53k. Idk about the ticket situation. If youre talking about how more people FROM Liverpool deserve to be able to get/afford LFC tickets then i agree with you. I hope that this new stand would allow that to be a possibility. Im an American from New York and it's always been my dream to go to an Anfield game but obviously thats not easy since im in the US. Even then, i understand and support the desire for locals to be able to go to games.
Wow 🤩 wow 🤩 wow 🤩. Im a very big liverpool fan. Ive always wanted to come to anfield cus i love liverpool. Bt i must say ur video has made me feel like i was there. I enjoyed ur experience there. Thats nice. Thanks 🙏🏼
Thanks for your feedback Joseph 🙌🙌
Good to hear your experience.
Great video mate, i felt the same about Anfield, it was my dream since i was a waen and it was great but i felt the same about the silent periods specially because i´m from south america where the stadium NEVER shut out,
we literally sing the whole ninety minutes, and much louder, Anfield is legendary, i loved it, and no disrespect, but any stadium in Argentina of any small club sounds louder, now River, Boca , Racing or Independiente that´s something else, you´ll be amazed, come hear it yourself. Again, great video.
Can imagine mate!! South America atmosphere is so beautiful I believe. Hopefully I can experience it soon myself
There is a lot of factors there really. First, the standing Kop went. That was what gave Anfield its reputation back in the day. Back then you could queue up on the day, get a cheap ticket and get straight into the Kop. If you were older or didn´t want to make noise you would sit in others parts of the stadium. The Kop was famous not just for its songs and colour, but also its humour, and the way the entire stand would sway in a way that seems incredibly dangerous today. Nowadays its all-seater stadiums, much harder to get tickets, much more expensive tickets (unaffordable for most to go regularly even if you could get tickets), much harder to sit with your friends, and an increasingly ageing fanbase, and an increasingly middle class fanbase too. To top it all off, you now have a lot of people visiting Anfield purely to "experience" the atmosphere - which obviously makes it even harder to get tickets for younger diehard fans. For these reasons there is whole generations of younger fans that have not developed a culture of frequently going the game, and it is young people who make the most noise. This is the flip-side of the commercialisation of the game - the quality of football is sometimes mind blowing, but many of these older aspects that made for an overall match day experience are lost. The club now uses the reputation of the "Famous Atmosphere" to sell the club to new fans - whilst simulataneously killing the atmosphere with that very same commercialisation. South America has managed to retain its more traditional match-going culture in a way we haven´t in England - although its for that exact same reason of commercialisation and money that South America´s best players now head to England (which I think is sad - the South American leagues used to be famous)
That is the first point. The second is that atmospheres in England (and Scotland) are just not the same as elsewhere, and they never have been. It is not like South America with the Barras Bravas or Europe with the Ultras - where there is a constant noise for 90 minutes. English fans have always reacted to the game in front of them. That means there is some games where the atmosphere is dead - even back in the old days of the standing Kop. However, it means when there is a high stakes games where the fans are really needed, they are able to react in a way that affects the game on the pitch, in a way that just isn´t present elsewhere. People really live the game on the pitch. When you have fans screaming for every tackle, every throw in, every decent pass, every bad refereeing decision, it can suddenly become incredibly difficult for the opposition and beneificial to the team. In those games, when the crowd is up, the adrenaline rush is like nothing I have experienced in South American or European footy. And it is those moments that leave opposition players disorientated in a way that constant singing won´t do. It is easier to learn to block out a constant background noise as a player. There may even be some quiet moments in those same games in England, but thats because the atmosphere is organic and not dictated by a drum or a megaphone or by some topless guy who isn´t even watching the game.
The Barras Bravas and Ultras are great for the less important games, against smaller opposition. They bring lots of noise, colour and flavour and thats great - especially if you are visiting as a casual fan as I have done in Germany and Chile. But for that exact same reason, they are less impactful in the really important moments of a game. I can find the constant Ultras drone off-putting in the big games, and I have been to games where the noise barely raises for a goal because the Ultras are already mid-song. I do think Argentinian fans have some of the best songs in the world. Would love to visit one of the Buenos Aires clubs. I love German football culture too - that is a League that has not sold out to the highest bidder like in England, and the game still feels more connected to its roots.
@@Fiago yes try to come you will love it!!!
@@Azog150 i totally understand what you say and i like to have this response from a local Liverpool fan because i wrote the comment with the highest respect, for me Anfield is the best stadium in europe, i felt in love of the city and its people i really felt like i was in another country, very diferent than London or Birminham. That been said, i still belive stadiums in Argentinian and Uruguay are far louder ,crazier and give a lot more support to their teams that the European stadiums, and even Brasil fans are louder(where by tha way happend something similar to what happened to the Kop). Anyways is a point of veiw, but come to Argentina, is very diferent than Chile 😅. I do want to ask you something, i got the felling and from what i read that scousers are really strong together, really proud people, and what you mentioned makes perfect sence , i saw that happened in Brasil, so i belive you, thing is how come you mates never try to "rescuit" the Kop,or try to get its old glory back? you think it is going to hapend in the future or is going to get worst?
@@andresssanchezpolanco5622 Glad you really liked Liverpool! As I said I would love to go to Buenos Aires! Very high on my list. I also think you are right that South American stadiums nowadays are louder and crazier then European stadiums - whether or not thye used to be I could not tell you.
But basically, regarding Anfield and the Kop, many things have changed. Football has changed, society has changed, and the sport is flooded with too much moeny.
The Kop was famous when it was an old standing terrace. It used to fit 32,000 people at its peak. Nowadays, with all seater stadiums (which were introduced after numerous deadly disasters in the 1980s - cheif among them Hillsborough) the whole of Anfield is 54,000, with only 12,00 in the Kop. When it was a standing terrace, you would pay the equivalent of £5 to get in. Now you can easily be paying ten times that. When it was a standing terrace you would just queue up and buy your tickets on the day, even for the very biggest games, and if you didn´t have the money or a ticket or might your luck by hopping over the barriers. Nowadays there is a crazy online ticketing system where you are competing with hundreds of thousands of people around the world for a ticket - and you are very lucky to get hold of one.
Because it is seated, you often can´t sit with your friend, even if you can go regularly. The Kop is dominated by season ticket holders who started going to Anfield when it was the old standing Kop, and they have maintained that tradition to thih day (The Kop stopped being a standing terrace in 1994). However those people are now in their 50´s or older. In all the old days they would have moved off to the seating stands at the sides, allowing a new generation of young people into the Kop. Nowadays young people struggle to get tickets.
Finally, some people now just see Anfield as an excuse to make money. When there is someone who has come to Anfield as a once-in-a-lifetime trip to "experience the atmosphere" and they are willing to pay £300 for a £50 ticket - some people will sell them it. It is sad that this happens, but money talks.
For these reasons it is very hard to reclaim the Kop. Most of the time you can´t afford to get in the stadium, or can´t get tickets.
The owners of these clubs are just happy to chase the money, so they won´t do anything about it. I think the only way to start to rescue the atmosphere would be to make the whole of the Kop have tickets that you have to queue up for on the day, first come first serve, for no more then £20. Then you might start to see younger fans going with their mates and sitting or standing together, where they will make noise.
The finaly factor is society has changed. Football used to be a much more solidly working class sport. Nowadays, since it became monetised and unaffordable, much more of the match-going fanbase is dominated by middle class people who, generally, make less noise. Furthermore, people nowadays like to be glued to their mobile phones or trying to film the pitch for their instagrams.
Society also used to be more violent. Football had a much darker side with hooliganism. If you wanted to sing and make noise you went in the Kop. If you were a hard-core scally and wanted to fight the away fans, you would go in the Anfield Road End - and leave the stadium ten minutes before the end of the game to wait for the away fans outside. Thankfully those days are long gone. But they also added that frenzied and anything-goes edge to an atmosphere.
Nowadays, most of the local fans who used to go to the stadium, instead now watch the match in the pub with their friends, where there is quite frankly a better atmosphere a lot of the time!!!
Hope that explains the difference between now and then. Those days are never coming back, for better and worse. I do think there is measure we can take to improve the atmosphere - but with English football so money oriented the owners are unlikely to take those decisions. Sadly, for these reasons, the game that started in England has become overcommercialised, overstanised, and lost its core essence, even if the football is better.
I imagine in South america they have managed to retain their traditions and essence far better then in England.
All that said, we do still get some great atmospheres in England, even if they are less frequent then days gone by.
This really doesn't do justice how loud it actually was when Salah scored. I was in the Kop though so it was probably far louder down there.
I saw a video at the Kop end when Salah scored and the stand bounced
Love the old couple behind u👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great to see this. You picked the perfect game to go to. Couldn't get a ticket myself though.
Yeah got lucky man!! Thanks
I feel like you should go and watch a greek derby, the ultras go crazy there!
Liverpool is a team that is built on the noise of the funs whenever the funs shouts lot the whole of the team spirit builds up making them so stronger
True
Brilliant vlog mate. You need to try the kop stand for the best atmosphere
Thanks Daniel!
Enjoyed that video as I am a Liverpool fan abroad....regarding the fact that sometimes it goes quiet, it happens in all premiere league games. In Italy it's like Germany, behind the post with the Ultras it's always noisy. Forza Napoli & YNWA.
During the silence I can feel the tension tho, the fans felt the same tension or nervousness as the players on the pitch. It's like tennis' match. But when the emotions running high, the fans push it to another level
Yep
Go to a championship club like milwall it will be slightly different
Both of your English is extremely good. Accent, fluency, colloquialisms.
Good video too. YNWA
Thank you!!
it's brilliant for 90 on big european nights but when the team plays low energy at an early league KO it can be really nervous and quiet. when it's rocking it's the most imposing stadium in europe. the problem is the average age of the crowd is so much higher than it ever has been historically, the crowd does not have the stamina to generate constant chaos
YOU CAN BE OVERRATED BUT NOT ANFIELD ATMOSPHERE
I think this video is a perfect example for Anfield. It shows the velocity of noise for Anfield, for the people actually there. Instead of just off TV. I also completely agree, our fans can be quite bad at points, but when a big game comes along we usually turn up
I also think what hasn’t helped is the stewards
Velocity? Where’s the physics?
Yeah 100%🙌
The loudness came into action even against Havents and Warterooville in the FA Cup about 15 years ago at Anfield.
The passion of the crowd was unrivalled up until maybe the end of Rodger's tenure, where I guess the Liverpool ultras had either aged out or just moved on.
It's not the same people anymore. Still bangs on a Europe night.
Good video and beautiful viewing
The first half city had more possession so I see why the fans were quiet
Anfield on big occasions is incredible. What I find with many Liverpool fans is there are many that are extremely nervous and that can affect the atmosphere to some degree but in terms of passion Liverpool are up there with any other fans.
It's fair to say that not every game has a great atmosphere but when Anfield is rocking there's nowhere like it. Celtic also have an amazing atmosphere on big occasions.
I'd say celtic park is better average as the smaller games are better than Anfields smaller games
@@samuelpinder1215 been to Parkhead on many occasions. Big European games and it was incredible but there's something very special about Anfield. Not just the noise but the joy amongst the people in the stadium is special. Complete strangers hugging each other withy joy. I've not witnessed that kind of passion anywhere else.
@@markdoherty8161 I've never really seen proper limbs in the kop tho
This is a nice beautiful new perspective of a matchday LFC vlog ... " Football Heritage " , it is ... Welcome to The Anfield ⛩️ 🌍 ..
🔥🔥🔥🤝
I know one fucking day I'll get in here sing our anthem and cry
The only people who say the Anfield atmosphere is overrated are probably the jealous Mancs who know that Old Trafford has an atmosphere like a graveyard. In truth, Anfield most of the time is a good atmosphere but the big games, especially the big European nights are nothing like anywhere else in football. The CL semi against Barca in 2019 was one of the most amazing atmospheres ever witnessed in football.
You made a good point about PL fans as we tend to be more reactive than Europeans. We can literally change a game with our voices and it has happened at Anfield so many times. When the Liverpool fans raise their game and get behind the team (with Klopp orchestrating) the power of the crowd can make opposition team shrink in size. Pep Guardiola summed it up perfectly in an interview when he said the Anfield crown can make you feel very small.
Probably true
Vastly overrated, not a patch on Newcastle. Liverpool supporters just full of wind and piss 🤫
@@brucedunn6845 The only one full of wind and piss is you mate. It's past your bedtime. Night, night🤣🤣
