A Paris Saint-Germain supporter seemingly deployed a bizarre and unprecedented tactic to aid his team in securing a penalty shootout victory against Liverpool.
This strange event unfolded at Anfield on Tuesday night, as Liverpool were eliminated from the Champions League.
Liverpool initially led 1-0, but PSG equalized within 12 minutes with a goal from Ousmane Dembele.
With no further goals, the match proceeded to extra time and eventually penalties to decide the winner.
Ultimately, Liverpool were defeated in the shootout as Darwin Nunez and Curtis Jones had their penalties saved.
PSG players and coaching staff celebrated their victory on the field after the final penalty.
However, they might owe some gratitude to a resourceful fan in the away section at Anfield.
This inventive supporter went to extreme lengths to support Luis Enrique’s squad.
His method involved an unprecedented tactic – the use of a MEGAPHONE.
The fan positioned himself behind the goal.
Throughout the penalties, he used the megaphone to emit a siren noise, aiming to distract both Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson and the penalty takers.
Stewards wearing earmuffs appeared to take no action, though it is not clear if the earmuffs were specifically for this fan’s siren.
Viewers watching the game were bewildered by this unusual interference.
One viewer commented, “Respect to the PSG fan with a megaphone behind the goal playing the siren.”
Another questioned, “How is there a PSG fan behind the goal with a megaphone and siren?”
One fan humorously remarked, “Big respect to that fan, objectively hilarious.”
Another exclaimed, “What on earth was the siren and loud hailer doing amongst the PSG fans?”
One more added, “How was that PSG fan allowed to use a siren right behind the goals?”
