Celtic Faces Intense European Away Challenge at Red Star's Marakana Stadium

Red Star Belgrade's Marakana stadium, known as 'Hellgrade,' is one of Europe's most intimidating football venues, notorious for its intense atmosphere and ultras called the Delije. The 1960s concrete stadium has unsettled top teams, including Liverpool and Manchester City, and now Celtic faces the daunting challenge of playing there amid heightened tensions, including ultras' displays like a symbolic tank. At Old Trafford, Manchester United continues to resist Chelsea's attempts to break their winless streak since Sir Alex Ferguson's era, with tactical adjustments helping United frustrate Chelsea's build-up play. Meanwhile, Liverpool's wartime success under George Kay is a forgotten chapter, with the club winning the Football League North Championship despite the challenges posed by World War II. Nottingham Forest fans, spanning generations, celebrate their club's rich history and recent return to European competition, bonding over memories of legendary manager Brian Clough and eagerly anticipating their Europa League journey. These stories reflect the enduring passion, history, and cultural significance of football across different clubs and eras in Europe.
