TFC lost dearly on the Anfield pitch on Thursday evening in the Europa League (5-1 defeat), but won the hearts of Liverpool, where the Toulouse supporters stood out. During the match, the Tef supporters who had made the trip gave a lesson in supporterism to an audience who only had the mythical You’ll Never Walk Alone. Reds fans had no choice but to bow to the purple fervor as they applauded the visitors’ yardage after the final whistle. Class.
Class, too, the reaction of the Liverpool authorities. The city police appreciated the atmosphere brought throughout the day on Thursday by the French, all in good humor and apparently without excesses. “TFC, you should be very proud of your fans, who behaved impeccably today in Liverpool city centre,” wrote Merseyside Police’s X account. They created a wonderful atmosphere. A peaceful climate that is always easier to establish by not unnecessarily gassing the supporters, the Scousers are very well placed to discuss it.
In short, the TFC has won over the red hearts and can be proud of it. At the Stadium, on the other hand, only a good result will make it possible to recover the dignity lost on the pitch.
