English journalists praise the atmosphere at Sparta Prague stadium. You have to experience it, they agree

Sparta fell 1:5 to Liverpool in the Europa League semi-final on Thursday, but English coach Jürgen Klopp praised the players and fans for their performance at the post-match press conference.

Few would have imagined it before the start of the season, but before Sparta’s match with Liverpool, at least among the Czech public, the chances of a draw or even a win at home were given to the Letensky team.

It was hard to make up for the bad start

Sparta came back to earth with two quick goals and fell to Liverpool 1-5. Leten clearly paid for not converting their chances, the home fans cheered until the final minutes despite the negative score.

Reds coach Jürgen Klopp praised the crowd at Letná after the match, saying that fans of other teams would have left the stadium in such a state.

Journalist and former footballer Karel Tvaroh, who was at the Manchester United match against Everton the following weekend, also expressed his opinion.

The bad atmosphere at Old Trafford has objective reasons. For one thing, Manchester United is not in ideal sporting shape. And a large part of the fans are also protesting against the Glazer family, which owns the club. Although the Red Devils won 2: 0, there was no joy in the stands.

The noisiest Sparta Prague stadium in recent years

Currently, the atmosphere at the EPET Arena is unusually positive for recent years. This is the result of winning the league title after nine years. Sparta has sold out every home league game since then and managed to do the same in the Europa League.

On the other hand, it must be remembered that a possible early exit from the Liverpool match makes no sense from the point of view of a Czech fan. For the vast majority of the public, this was the last chance to see coach Klopp on the Reds bench. As well as stars like Virgil van Dijk.
