Football fans will do anything to help their team win—chanting, waving flags, throwing flares (not recommended, by the way). But in PSG’s dramatic Champions League penalty shootout win over Liverpool, one supporter took things to an entirely new level. A never-before-seen level. A level that could go down in football history as either genius or absolute madness.
Enter the Megaphone Menace—a PSG fan who decided that tactical analysis, player form, and strategy were all secondary to the power of pure, unfiltered chaos.
A Siren, a Megaphone, and a Masterplan
Despite the loss, Reds manager Arne Slot labelled the match as his best ever by stating,
It was the best game of football I was ever involved in,” Slot told reporters after the match. “I don’t have the history that Liverpool has as a manager but it was two teams at an incredible level. It was an incredible intensity in the first 25 minutes.
But during that intense penalty shootout is when things got… a bit weird.
Positioned in the away end, just behind the goal, was one particularly savvy PSG fan. Armed with a megaphone and the sheer will to disrupt, this modern-day football trickster did something no one saw coming—he blared a siren noise at the Liverpool players during their penalties.
Yep. A full-blown siren. Behind the goal. In a Champions League knockout match.
Darwin Núñez and Curtis Jones both missed their penalties for Liverpool, with PSG sealing their place in the next round. Coincidence? Maybe. But the internet sure doesn’t think so.
The Internet Reacts: “How Was This Allowed?!”
Fans watching from home couldn’t believe what they were seeing—or more accurately, hearing. Here’s a closer look at what they said and what it actually means:
“What on earth was the siren and loud hailer doing in the PSG fans?”
This fan is essentially expressing pure shock at the situation. A siren noise at a football match is not normal—especially not during a penalty shootout. The mention of a “loud hailer” (another word for a megaphone) highlights how unusual and disruptive this was. The subtext? “How did security even allow this inside the stadium?”
“How was that PSG fan allowed to use a siren right behind the goals?”
This is the big question everyone is asking. Stadium security usually bans items that can interfere with the game—lasers, whistles, even certain types of banners. So, how did a PSG fan not only bring in a megaphone but also freely blast a siren noise during penalties? This fan isn’t just surprised; they’re questioning the competence of Anfield’s security.
“Big hand to that fan, objectively hilarious.”
Not everyone was upset. This comment acknowledges that, whether it was fair or not, it was absolutely hilarious. The phrase “big hand” is another way of saying “round of applause.” Basically, this fan is saying, “Look, I know this is controversial, but I can’t help but admire the creativity.”
Did It Actually Work?
Alright, let’s be real—footballers at this level have dealt with pressure before. They’ve taken penalties in front of thousands of screaming fans. But a megaphone blaring a siren? That’s new.
Maybe it was enough to throw them off their rhythm. Maybe it was just dumb luck. But either way, it’s a moment that will go down as one of the strangest (and funniest) pieces of football shithousery we’ve seen in a while.
One thing’s for sure: UEFA and the football officials might have a meeting about this.
