So mine and my sons first trip to Anfield was an awesome experience (despite the 7 hour drive up due to accidents and roadworks 😫)

We got to our seats just as YNWA started and that was a spine tingling moment. The first 20 minutes was incredible both the fact we scored 3 and the noise inside Anfield.

One question to regular match goers. after Hoffenheim scored their 2nd, Anfield went very quiet. Is this something that happens at home matches? I know it was a bit nervy but with 10 mins left they needed to score 3 which was incredibly unlikely (even with our defence 😆) so don't think it was purely the crowd being nervous. The singing and the chants just seem to stop and I'm not sure why. We both carried on singing but no-one around seemed to want to join in!

Anyway, aside from that it was a great first match and hoping now to get up there a bit more.

Hm so the atmosphere was actually pretty bad then?
Lots watching on TV where concerned but wr thought it was because they usually turn down the crowd volume so we can actually hear the commentators.
Usually Anfield is bouncing specially if winning and the atmosphere can be emotional it’s so amazing.
Probably nerves as we all know even a 3 goal lead sometimes isn’t good enough with our defence even with 10 minutes left xD.

Just realized you said "after their second goal" just read it as after their goal xD
What was the atmosphere like for the prior 80 minutes? Was awful on the telly xD.

I felt it was great atmosphere for most of the game, slight lull after the first goal but other than a few minutes then, great right up until the last 10mins.

Others who have been before might say different as they have something to compare it to but I felt most of the game was nice and loud and lots of singing 👍🏻.

Don't get wrong though, I'm not complaining at all, just curious.

I feel lucky we managed to get tickets and my son has been bouncing off the walls for the last week and again this morning 😊.

Hard to truly gauge the atmosphere through a glass screen to be fair.
