In 2012, Santa Cruz suffered a 4-1 defeat to Grêmio.

When the final whistle blew, there was just one Santa Cruz supporter left in the stands.

His name was Tiago Rech.

The image went viral around the world and earned him legendary status among football fans.

Years later, Santa Cruz offered him a job at the club. He worked his way through the ranks and, in 2018, was elected club president.

The story didn't end there.

In 2020, under Rech's presidency, Santa Cruz won the Rio Grande do Sul State Championship and qualified for the Copa do Brasil for the first time in the club's 107-year history.

One of the greatest stories of loyalty in football.

Swedish side GAIS lost 6-0 away in Denmark tonight in their Europa Conference league qualifier, ending their dream to play in the tournament.

Look at their fans, singing their heart out for their club, regardless of result. That’s what it’s all about! 👏

In 2016, Dutch club RKC Waalwijk replaced the traditional mascots with lingerie models.

As part of a Valentine's Day promotion with sponsor After Eden, the Dutch second-tier side walked onto the pitch accompanied by models instead of children before their match against FC Emmen.

Unfortunately for RKC, this didn't translate into results, as they went on to lose the match 1-0.

Dejan Lovren:

"I'm going to tell you a story.

On the first day of Liverpool's 2017 pre-season, an 18-year-old player, whose name I won't reveal, arrived for training in a Mercedes wearing a gold Rolex.

Klopp looked at him and asked:

'What car did you come here in?'

'A Mercedes.'

'And what's that on your wrist?'

'A Rolex.'

'How many first-team games have you played?'

'None.'

The next day, he arrived in a modest car and wasn't wearing the watch."

Jürgen Klopp never wanted young players to act like stars before they'd earned the right.
