#Football - กีฬา
Tifo really got me tearing up on a Wednesday morning. My Gates are incredibly moved
Mein Gehts 😭😭😭😭 so moved
Recently the most touching moment for me was the Anfield crowd holding a minute's applause for the passing away of Ronaldo's baby boy. Highlighting the fact that United and Liverpool are Rivals not enemies
Greatest sport in the world. Never copied, never replicated. Football is the epitome outpouring emotion
Without question!!!!!!
Have to add that this is a phenomenon in all sports, not just football :)
MLS is trying and they are succeeding. In terms of revenue, I think they are on-par with Ligue 1 already.
I think gladiator fights made the same impact on people
@@phoenix5054 💀💀💀 on par with ligue 1. Let them go on par with Argentine league
I thought Anfield singing YNWA after Ronaldo’s kid passed away was also quiet special given the history
Yup. Was just thinking about this. Some things just transcend sport rivalries.
Most definitely showed the Liverpool fans class after the opposite from the City fans..
@@smittenthekitteninmittens2679 I might look too much into it but Liverpool fans know the pain of losing your loved ones.
Agree
@@aronaranyossy Juventus probably know about that as well. Still waiting for an apology.
I would like to add Marc-Vivien Foé who sadly lost his life while playing for Cameroon in the semi-finals of the 2003 FIFA Confederations Cup. Both the Cameroonian and French teams played the final in honour of him.
I remember Henry being in tears in the team line up before the France Cameroon final.
I remember having a copy of that year's Pro Evo and it felt really weird seeing Foe still on the game after he had passed.
Man City Retired his number too.
Zambia winning their only AFCON in the country where their best ever side perished in plane crash is noteworthy also. They beat Ghana ,and the Ivory Coast in the finals. Written in the stars.
I'm Ghanaian but this is something great to talk about🙌
eriksens resurgence shows how good he really is
was*
@@exgl_fp1598 u mean he Ain't good now?
yet he chose Man Utd...
@@aashman_40k man UTD is doing well this season what are you on?
He is amazing for Man Utd
I will never forget that Denmark - Russia game. We knew we had to beat Russia with at least 2 goals while Belgium had to win against Finland. Russia scored at penalty in the 70th minute making it 2 - 1, and that score would not be enough for us to advance. Meanwhile, the Belgium - Finland game was still 0 - 0. The next 10 minutes were the greatest thing I've ever witnessed in football. Christensen's screamer of a goal and Mæhle's near post finish came simultaneously with the two goals for Belgium in the other match, solidifying our place in the knockout stages. Everyone in Denmark cared about football that summer, and the national team's heroic efforts of overcoming the trauma of Eriksen's collapse united the country.
I feel like everyone was rooting for Denmark after what happened with Eriksen
This was in 2018?
@@mightyskullIt was EURO 2020(2021)
The most emotional moment I have seen whilst watching football has to be Lampard taking a penalty against Liverpool just after his mum died. I remember watching it as a kid thinking how can he concentrate on scoring when his mind must be all over the place. He scored it and let out all his emotion right there on the pitch, like he hadn't allowed himself to grieve until that moment. It was such a powerful moment and is just one example of many on why this sport is the best.
Never thought I would shed a tear watching a tifo video
Matt Bubsy surviving Munich and winning the European cup just 10 years on. By far the most inspirational football manager to walk this earth
There was a night of 80,000 tears! The day Totti retired. I still can't get halfway through it without crying and I don't even know Italian
Football is just emotion in motion ❤️🤍
Well Put
Newcastle’s tribute to Gary Speed against Swansea absolutely did me in. I’d lost my sister three weeks before so felt extra emotional
Damn, Chapecoense's tragedy still makes my eyes wet. Such an underdog story and a team in ascension. My favorite football radio broadcaster was also in the plane and died.
I can't think of more emotional moment than Jonas Gutierrez saved Newcastle United from relegation on the final day of the 14/15 season, having beaten the testicular cancer himself a season prior.
Surprised this one didn't get a mention
I wasn’t ready for this emotion
This was more emotional than I expected
Thank's man, now im on tears.
I was still young when Miklós Fehér passed away playing for Benfica, but still get emotional every time there's talks about it. The other things were Portugal winninif finally a international tournament after so many ''almost there''. The other was the passing of Eusebio, even the ultras from Porto and Sporting ( out two biggest rivals) come and did their honors.
The following game was against Porto at our home. I cant describe how that game felt, was something else, the atmosphere was not something I felt during a game. We ended winning that game. When Portugal won the Euros there was a photo of Eusebio with the team during the all tournmenment and come with them on the airplane.
My personal favorite is Neymar scoring the winning penalty for Brazil in the 2016 Olympics. He immediately started crying. The relief in that emotion is so real.
It may not seem much but for years the olympic gold was regarded as a curse since it was the only title we never got. Also, it was a mere two years after 7-1 and also against Germany. There was a lot at stake and it was indeed a beutiful moment
Roberto Baggio
A man who died standing up
This was a nice change up in the type of video. I would love to hear moving speeches gathered on what football means to them, be it pros, writers, fans or even films.
As a Colombian, I will never forget that terrible day of the chapecoense plane crash. I wanted nacional to win it even if it isn't my team, but woke up to that terrible news. I will also never forget the beautiful tribute nacional and the city of Medellin gave, in their now stadium, to a mourning nation of Brazil and chapecoense, forever linking these two teams. And regardless of how many times I've seen it, the video of the whole chapecoense team celebrating in their locker room after qualifying to the final will always bring tears to my eyes. 💚
Two recent ones that come to mind were both at Anfield. The Liverpool fans standing for Cristiano Ronaldo in their game against United after Ronaldo lost a child. And one that I'll never forget: when Liverpool came out onto the Anfield pitch to Everton's own Z-Cars anthem in tribute to Evertonian Rhys Jones, who had been killed in the cross-fire of two local gangs.
This was beautiful
We all have to remember.
Regardless of team, rivalry, the colour you support, what country you are from, what cultural background you may have. We're all people living normal lives, and football is just a part of our lives. Respect, and humanity transcends through all these football moments and more. You can be frustrated, and not like someone or some people, but remember to treat everyone as if they were yourselves, or your loved ones. ❤
I rarely cry but, as a Dane, this video really brings me to the edge.. Good job Tifo, you make great videos!
Such beautiful narration. On the verge of tears.
In January 2004 (incidentally the year Portugal was hosting the Euros), a Benfica player called Miklos Fehér collapsed in the middle of the field in a League match against Vitória de Guimarães, and died of cardiac arrest. It sparked a conversation about the medical conditions of the players playing at that level, focusing on resources during matches and more extensive diagnostics every season. There is a bust of him at Estádio da Luz, where the Hungary national team and Puskas FC have paid respects when playing there.
I think that to this day, when Benfica plays in Guimarães against Vitória in a League match, they always have a moment to remember him.
Manchester United had a good chance of winning the UCL before the Munich air disaster. They had very talented players and were aiming for winning the league for the third successive season only being 6 point behind wolves who were on top of the table with 14 matches to go. The tragedy destroyed all the hopes of Man Utd and England National Team. But 10 year later Matt Busby rebuilt the team and won the UCL, making Manchester United the first ever English team to win the Champions League.
The tifo tear jerker.
Beautiful video, It just shows that all the tribalism and hooliganism is just an aesthetic and as football fans we are able to come together and create moments that are touching to all.
I remember the night of the Chapecoense tragedy I woke up in the middle of the night suddenly and received a notification about it and felt so devastated. Felt amazing to see the unity between Colombians and Chapecoense fans in light of the tragedy.
No Jonas Gutierrez? The man had cancer, spent the whole season away and Newcastle flopped till he successfully beat cancer, came back and scored a goal that made the club survive the relegation battle on week 38. A movie material.
Never thought a TIFO video would have me in tears 😭
The Tardelli celebration is truly remarkable! The passion, the joy, the sheer relief at the moment...
As a Finn that Denmark - Finland game was certainly the weidest game emotionally that I have watched. Before the game I was so excited to see Finland for the first time in a major tournament and against Denmark: a great team but still a good possibility for a shock result for Finland.
Then Eriksen collapsed and I and all of my family thought that we might just have seen a person dying. I was destroyed. Well Finland won the game in the end but still I really can't enjoy it that much as I normally could. It should have been the biggest game and biggest win of our nation ever, but still even today when everything has turned alright, I feel like that we didn't really deserve the win.
For me it's going to be watching the England players and Gareth Southgate lose on penalties to Italy. As someone who'd been through the experience himself, Southgate's tortured expression showed the pain he's been suffering for almost 30 years
Still furious that he had a 19yo Saka take a penalty. A better example perhaps was Southgate consoling the Colombian after his nissed penalty against England back in 2018
van Basten leaving the sport due a injury made me cry.
i never wanted this video to end
Three weeks prior to the Chapecoense tragedy, the same plane carried Argentina's national team from Buenos Aires to Brazil and back (Messi included).
What a beauty
asamoah gyan missing the penalty after suarez played goalkeeper was possibly the most heartbreaking moment I've ever witnessed as a football fan.
I'm not ghanaian or even african. but that moment was something else. fear, anger, sadness, hopelessness. all these emotions at their very strongest all within a coudple of minutes. it moved me harder than anything footbal-related before or since.
Thanks
To me, Leicester city winning the league was very emotional. They showed that even smallest yeam can achieve big titles
@louis In a league format with everybody playing 38 matches, there are no flukes.
@louis A magnitude of things going right for a team does not make it a fluke. Imagine thinking you can tear someone apart on a topic that has no right answer. the simple fact of the matter is that a team that narrowly avoided relegation the year before, played the best football and won arguably the toughest league in the world. There would have to be a ridiculous amount of luck to prevent that from being anything other than one of the best achievements any sports team has ever done. And there wasn't that much luck
Things had to go right but the fact is they won more games than any other team that season. They deserved the title and should get credit without ifs and buts
@@rorybessell8280 You still have to go and take advantage of those opportunities. There's no arguement to be had. Anyone who boo hoos Leicester's win just has a chip on their shoulder. Liverpool looked like they were about to win the league in 2015, but they did the opposite of Leicester, they turned it all to s**t! Once Leicester got in sights of the title, they knew they would win it. That's not luck, that's will and it's the very thing Liverpool lacked in 2015.
@@davidlean1060 Yes, I agree, reply to the wrong person?
Another one i wish to add is Iniesta's celebration of his World Cup goal in Southafrica 2010, revealing the Shirt in honor of Dani Jarque, a friend of his from Espanyol, who tragiclly passed away in 2009
yes sir thank you
Football truly captures what it means to be a human being. Long live Football.
Wonderful video!
Damn good video, pure soul.
Ronaldo crying after his 2016 Euro knee injury
RIP, flowers of Manchester. Legends never die
when we (Ghana) lost in the wc quarters to Suarez handball 😭😭
They lost because they couldn't score from the spot simple as that
Blame gyan for missing the penalty not Suarez
Goosebumps
Well that was an uplifting start to the day :'(
Amazing video
Man, let me tell you...I love this game ❤.
I was at the Muamba game and to hear the whole of White Hart Lane singing his name, when no one really knew what had happened, was pretty special.
I was fully expecting a ridiculously photoshopped thumbnail when I saw the title.
Top 10 Emotional and Respectful Moments In Football!!! (😭😭😭)
Don’t forget the cringy remix music

A really bittersweet one that I remember is Jonás' goal and assist to keep Newcastle in the premier league after overcoming cancer. Just a real shame how he was treated by the club after all he'd been through.
The beautful game
Well done
Ross’ penalty miss at the ‘94 World Cup has to be up there.
Most emotional for me was Totti speaking to the crowd in his last game. Last few players ever to be loyal to one club.
This was really sad
I'll never forget Eriksen's collapse. My head in my hands in shock. My dad screaming "Oh my God he isn't breathing" repeatedly and my mom going mental too despite hating football.
I had to get out of there and go for a walk just to breathe and how empty and silent the city was. How speechless the commentators were. How speechless I was. Oh how I loathed UEFA for forcing the game to go on.
It should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway. I am immensely proud of my team and my coach for how incredibly well they handled it all and how they picked themselves and each other up afterwards.
Maybe recency bias, but Yarmolenko's goal against Villa during the start of the Russian invasion really got me going.
his winner in the europa league, also
The home game 7 days after Muamba's collapse (against Blackburn no less) was the first thing that came to mind for me. Don't think I can put into words what that atmosphere was like, but it'll stick with me
I become so happy everytime I see Erikson touch the ball these days.
Senegal winning their only Afcon is definitely not an emotional moment but Argentina winning their 4th copa America is emotional. That's fantastic
there wasn't much weight with Senegal winning afcon. on the other hand, Argentina was under pressure for decades and came as a relief when they won something
Maybe for you🤷🏽♂️
A country with superstars compiting in a compitition where they are almost always the best squad and not winning it since 28 yeras despite always having a goat candidate in their squad is the reason boii
@@BeakaD More like Messi was on pressure of not winning anything internationally.
Great video but missed out on the Zambian national team
I will always remember when the French Republican Guard played "Don't Look Back in Anger" in the Stade de France in June 2017 following the terrorist attacks in London and Manchester
Jonás Gutiérrez scoring for Newcastle after surviving cancer and keeping them up to I remember almost crying seeing it more just how unbelievable it was and you could see how much it meant to him and everyone there.
Disgusting though I’m sure he was released by the club over a text not long after.
A special moment i feel worth mentioning is Jonas Guitierrez beating cancer and then coming back to score the goal which kept newcastle from being relegated that season, think the commentator says something like ' a man who knows the true meaning of survival'
RIP MIKLÓS FEHÉR
It’s crazy how similar the Christian Eriksen and Damar Hamlin situations are. I only hope Damar is able to resume his playing career next season
Mean Tion that muamba has a TH-cam channel he needs more subs honestly
No list like this would be compete without the Merseyside FA cup final..thankyou for not forgetting....YNWA
Emiliano Sala as well ❤
The Chapecoence tragedy hits so hard this year on South America, was a total disaster and today it still
The absolute epitome of this is the Tardelli celebration
I miss the old crew. Joe, Alex and Seb were the perfect balance.
You have to produce a longer documentary about specific football related topics. 30, 45 60 Minuten or so
Ebenezer Morley : I never thought I will create such an emotional thing. All I wanted was for people to kick a ball around the grass...
Worth mentioning was the death of Marc Vivien Foe and Escobar
😢
Just to add one of my own. In 1993 en route to a world cup qualifier, a plane carrying thw near entirety of the Zambian national team crashed in the Atlantic ocean killing everyone on board. Its was a promising and well celebrated team, even more was it's star Kalusha Bwalya( who survived because he was not on the flight thay day), currently living abroad in Morocco most older people still recall the team and bring it up whenever I mention my nationality; Zambian football never really recovered. However in 2012, at the Africa Cup of Nations held in Gabon( the last nation the team was in before the crash), and as severe underdogs the Zambian national team somehow won the whole thing; it was very touching moment for a whole nation.
The Indonesian stadium tragedy should also have an honourable mention as its one of the worst stadium disaster every recorded condolences to all everyone involved in the tragedy
Thank you for mentioned this tragedy. As a Indonesian and a football fan, Kanjuruhan's tragedy makes us shed a tears. How International football paid their respect like in La Liga, Premier League, and Eredivisie is always be a memorable moment for me. Fans around Indonesia, even with their rivalry like Persija with Persib and Persebaya with Arema, hold their hands side by side prayed for the deceased. I hope from this moment we can took the lesson and be better than ever
Here in Brazil we oftenly say: “It’s not just football”
How about Alisson scoring against west brom just months after his tragedy?
Or the liverpool fans gesture for ronaldo last season.
Egypt vs Congo, 2018 world cup qualifier
Mo Salah scored first, then Congo levelled up
In the very last minutes, penalty for Egypt. Egyptian players celebrated as if it was an actual goal when the referee gave them the spot. Mo scored and Egypt qualified for world cup. The spectators ran to the pitch to celebrate.
You somehow missed the matches played between the trenches on Christmas morning, 1914, by the soldiers participating in the Great War. Those were the best moments of football, of what the sport should mean.
Cristiano de Lima Junior of Dempo.
RIP…
Another thing that should be added to the Eriksen story was the Finnish fans giving away their giant national flag so that Eriksen could be escorted away in relative privacy.
I think I have something in my eyes
I think the problem nowadays is that the media and commentators constantly trying to emphasise that we're witnessing a special emotional moment right now. Everything is being pushed to at least historical significance.
Too bad we can't have more of this in football. Since football fans continue to fight at stadiums and even politics have gotten in the way. Especially after the wild 2020 year. Fans are even pointing lasers again. The sport has gone backwards.
You did see the one from after 2020 right?
Eriksen længe leve ❤
Nouri deserved a mention..m
Wooo first
