In Europe, there is a word called "TIFO", which is a proper noun in the sports circle, in the fan culture refers to a large banner or puzzle that can cover the stands, often used in important matches and key battles, is an important tool for fans to support their club, and is also an excellent visual shock weapon to deter away teams.

Giant jerseys, flags, puzzles, banners, portraits, etc., seen on the pitch can all be called TIFO.

In the early days, TIFO usually referred to a large hand-painted format covering the entire grandstand, but now it has developed into a huge three-dimensional picture of the grandstand by fans waving their flags in the stands, or drawing boards of different colors.

TIFO is a nuclear weapon in the stands, and fans express their opinions and opinions with its very visual impact, and this "violent aesthetics" has deeply attracted generations of stand fighters.

What is TIFO?

She's a gorgeous weapon for die-hard stands!

She's the ultimate gear for fan organizations!

The TIFO culture was born in Italy and is said to date back to Roman times, when aristocrats could enter with a flag in support of a gladiator when watching a gladiator duel.

In the modern era, specifically at the end of the 70s of the 20th century, the confrontation between AC Milan and Inter Milan fans escalated, and the TIFO culture was popularized, and fans began to make larger and more spectacular TIFOs, which also became a very worthwhile interior scene in the Italian stadium.

Like many big clubs, every home stadium has a stand that belongs to the team's diehards, as in the South Stand at the Bernabeu.

Before each match, the Melingers will display huge TIFOs, such as the emblem of the Galaxy Battleship, Real Madrid's football legends, and the Big Ears Cup in the Champions League.

The Melingers are extremely demanding of the home team, and in addition to cheering them on, there will be a tidal wave of boos from the south stand.

In the south stand of the Bernabeu Stadium tonight, the giant TIFO displayed had a portrait and a slogan.

A portrait of the Champions League trophy occupies two-thirds of the page, and the trophy has the number symbol 11, which of course symbolizes that Real Madrid have won a total of 11 Champions Leagues.

Underneath the trophy is a slogan that reads: "The best team, the best players, the best fans, the best stadium!"

UEFA would not agree to a reactionary, insulting TIFO on the pitch, so the slogans on the TIFO are generally not excessive.

The VIP stands at the Bernabeu are generally full of Real Madrid bigwigs, including football legends, former coaches, and even, the helmsman who led the two phases of the Galaxy Battleship, Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez.

This year is the last year of the fourth term of Galeries Lafayette, but he has already said that he will continue to run for the presidency of Real Madrid after the season, and if nothing else, Florentino will be re-elected as president.

One of Real Madrid's greatest presidents in the history of Real Madrid was in the stands at the Bernabeu tonight, along with vice-president José Sanchez, his aide Raymond Martinez and renowned scout Júni Calafate.

They were all swept by cameras and appeared on TV, computer, and mobile phone screens, triggering all kinds of conjectures from sensitive reporters and fans.

Sky Sports Studio, this time the commentators and guests, are Martin Taylor, Thierry Henry, David Beckham, Steve McManaman, Michael Owen and Jonathan Woodgate, interestingly, from the selection of guests, it can be seen that the latter four are all English players who have played for Real Madrid, and Sky Sports invited them, which should have a deep meaning.

McManaman is undoubtedly the most successful of the four English stars who have played for Real Madrid, winning two Champions League titles and two La Liga titles in his four years at Real Madrid, becoming the first English player in Real Madrid's history to score in the Champions League final in 2000.

Now, once called the most talented footballer in Europe by the football king Pele, he has now entered the field of football commentary and is the most respected commentator.

"Wooden Door" Woodgate, the most talented Premier League defender in the past, was plagued by injuries and did not reach the peak of his career, during the Real Madrid period, due to a long-term injury, only stayed for two seasons, then returned to England, after retiring, became an assistant coach of Middlesbrough, in last Saturday's game, witnessed the team's home defeat and the wonderful performance of the hand.

Owen may be the shortest of the four to play for Real Madrid, with just one season.

Because of the frequent substitutes, although he was Real Madrid's most efficient scorer that season, he couldn't tolerate not being able to play the main team, and finally Owen resolutely left Real Madrid and returned to England.

After retiring from Stoke City in 2013, Irving, like McManaman, entered television as a football commentator.

"Heartthrob" David Beckham is the longest-serving English player at Real Madrid, with the highest number of appearances and goals scored by the four. However, in the five years at Real Madrid, he has only won one La Liga title and a Spanish Super Cup, and the greatest contribution of heartthrobs is to bring Real Madrid's brand value and influence, and lay a solid foundation for Real Madrid's business empire.

After retiring, Beckham frequently engaged in business activities, and now has a net worth of billions, in addition to continuing to fight in the business world, Beckham is also preparing to build a football club in the United States.

Among the retired footballers, the best mix is only David Beckham, the handsome and unwanted big winner in life.

These four people are all players signed during Florentino's tenure, and Sky Sports invited them, in addition to their Real Madrid background, but also because Real Madrid's opponent in this game is Arsenal from the Premier League, in the Champions League, even if they have not played for Arsenal, as Englishmen, they should also support Arsenal with the same guns.

One could argue that there wasn't another Premier League team in the Champions League that night?

Leicester City and Atletico Madrid?

These two teams, in addition to being able to defend and counterattack, can play a good game?

And the topic and influence, as well as attractiveness, are not too far behind Real Madrid and Arsenal, but far away.

From the lineup of commentators arranged by Sky Sports for the two games, it can be seen that more attention is paid to which game.

"David, Jonathan, 12 years ago at the Bernabeu, you all played in that game, right?" Martin Taylor laughed.

Beckham and Woodgate smiled at each other, nodded, and looked at Henry together.

Henry felt the gaze of the two, shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "I'm sorry to ruin your Champions League dreams." ”

After saying that, he laughed, and the others present also burst into laughter.

"Seriously, I'm envious of Steve, he has two Champions Leagues." Beckham said to McManaman with an envious expression.

Owen said disdainfully: "Doesn't David also have a Champions League? ”
