2024 was a beautiful year on the football field. 

This year, we witnessed the beautiful ending of Marco Reus at "Borussia” club, Rodri’s victory in the "Ballon d'Or” awards, the start of the new format in the Champions League, Spain's triumph in the European Championship, the fantastic journey of "Bayer” in the Bundesliga, Argentina’s second consecutive triumph in South America, the end of Jurgen Klopp's era at "Liverpool”, and the first victory of the San Marino national team in 20 years... we can keep naming them, but this year the football fans stood out as well.

On the occasion of the biggest celebrations of the year, Eurofootball.lt presents the most beautiful moments of football fans from 2024.

• "Bayer” fans' surge after the historic triumph

The Bayer Leverkusen team undoubtedly deserves praise, but watching the joy of the fans after "Bayer’s” triumph was equally delightful. They flooded the "BayArena” and celebrated the club's first Bundesliga title in history.

• The "battle” of Albania and Italy fans

One of the fan moments that stood out at the European Championship was when the Italian and Albanian national team fans playfully clashed. An Albanian broke spaghetti in front of the "Azzurri” fans... Fantastic.

• Saxophone in Germany

The saxophonist in Germany created an absolutely fantastic celebration. It was always a joy to watch these videos where the fans were just having a great time. That’s what a football celebration is about.

• PSG ultras support for amateurs

Three months ago, the Paris "Saint-Germain” team played in London, where they were welcomed by "Arsenal” players. The most loyal supporters of the French champions (ultras) decided to stop in London and support complete strangers who were playing "five-a-side” football on a small pitch.

• Songs for "Southgate”

At the European Championship, England fans encountered a security guard who resembled Gareth Southgate. Then songs and chants started.

• The last "You'll Never Walk Alone” (YNWA) for Jurgen Klopp

The farewell of the "Liverpool” fans and Jurgen Klopp was a deeply touching moment. The fans sang the famous YNWA song one last time for this legendary coach, and after the match, Trent Alexander-Arnold couldn't hold back his tears. 

• The "Flying Dutchmen” cheer at the European Championship.

The Dutch fans in Germany, where the European Championship took place, stood out perhaps the most among all the fans. They had a crowd of thousands, they partied, and it was so much fun to see.
