One aspect of fandom that soccer culture does better than any sport in the world is the making of tifos. The latest AC Milan tifo vs PSG battle is one of the best we’ve seen in a long time.
PSG threw the first artistic punch when the two sides met at the Parc des Princes on Oct. 25 in the Champions League. Before the game started the PSG faithful raised a great tifo of one of their founders and actor, Jean-Paul Belmondo.

LONDON — Manchester United stopped the rot as captain Bruno Fernandes struck in the 90th minute for a 1-0 victory at Fulham in the early Premier League game at Fulham on Saturday.
The game was petering out into a lacklustre stalemate when Fernandes latched on to a loose ball on the edge of the area and drilled a low skidding shot inside the post.
Mainz 05 have terminated Anwar El Ghazi's contract following the forward's social media posts in connection with the Israel-Hamas conflict, the Bundesliga club said on Friday.
The Dutchman was suspended in October following an earlier comment about the conflict but had been cleared to return to training on Monday after showing remorse, the club had said.
However, El Ghazi posted a new statement on Wednesday that the German club said was 'incomprehensible' and that they would examine it from a legal perspective.
