It comes as a study revealed that a third of football fans are so passionate about the sport that they’ve spilled beer on themselves, torn their clothes, or even smashed their phones in excitement.
Commissioned by tech brand HONOR, the study showed that 14 per cent of fans are less worried about their possessions when celebrating during a game.
The survey of over 1,000 football enthusiasts revealed that top mishaps include dousing themselves with a full drink (12 per cent), tearing a favourite piece of clothing (8 per cent), and cracking their phone screen (7 per cent).
These findings led to the company wrapping an entire bar in Barcelona city centre in bubble wrap for fans watching the Barcelona v Bayern Munich match to prevent any mishaps.
A spokesperson for the brand said: “Football fans are arguably the heart and soul of the game, and their passion, dedication, and unwavering support can create an atmosphere unlike any other, both in the stadium and beyond.”
“Whether cheering from the stands or watching from home, fans fuel the excitement, making every match a spectacle of unity, pride, and love for the sport.”
“However, our research shows that this passion can sometimes lead to all sorts of funny mishaps often involving personal belongings.”
Items that have fallen victim to these celebrations include drinks (19 per cent), food (13 per cent), and keys (10 per cent). And one in 10 have tossed their phone into the air, according to data from OnePoll.com.
A spokesperson for Honor, which commissioned the study to launch its new Magic V3, commented: “Despite these football fails, it seems fans think it’s all worth it in the end to see their favourite team score a goal.”
“Nothing can beat the roar of the crowd and the thrill of seeing the ball hit the back of the net. It’s a surge of adrenaline and pride that stays with you long after the match ends and is what makes football the beautiful game that it is.”
