Patrick Vieira picks Liverpool and Anfield as the best atmosphere on matchdays

Former Arsenal skipper Patrick Vieira recently expressed his admiration for Anfield’s unparalleled atmosphere.

While previewing the Champions League final between Manchester City and Inter Milan on BT Sport via Liverpool ECHO, Vieira shared his experience of the best stadium atmosphere he had encountered throughout his career.

“Liverpool is one of the best. I think AC Milan, Inter, San Siro is a very special stadium, but Liverpool for me is the best atmosphere that I ever experienced in my life. It’s a communion between the players and the fans.”

“When they start to sing You’ll Never Walk Alone and they make it really special for the players, it creates a bubble, a togetherness between fans and players and I think that gives the extra motivation to the players to give even more. That creates something really special for Liverpool Football Club.”

Without hesitation, Vieira declared Liverpool’s home ground, Anfield, as the pinnacle of atmospheric excellence. He acknowledged the historical significance of stadiums like San Siro, home to Milan and Inter, but he emphasized that Anfield stands above them all.
