"Michelle and Renate look slightly lost amidst the hustle and bustle of the fans. Both have Bayern scarves around their necks. All around them: PSV fans. There are still a good two hours to go until kick-off at Philips Stadion, the cool evening air at the back of the stands in Eindhoven is heavy with the smell of freshly grilled sausages and freshly tapped beer."
"Michelle took the day off from her job in a clothes shop, then they both drove the hour and a half from the coast to the south-west of Holland. "Of course, the point is that we can watch Bayern" says Michelle. She learned German at school, but not only there: "We've been going on holiday to Germany for as long as I can remember. I love the country, especially Bavaria.""
Two Bayern supporters, Michelle and Renate, travel from The Hague to Eindhoven to attend an away match at Philips Stadion. The matchday atmosphere features PSV fans, food stalls, loud music, and waiting crowds for team arrival. Michelle took a day off work and drove an hour and a half to attend. She studied German and has holidayed in Germany frequently, developing a love for Bavaria’s landscapes, Munich, people, and cuisine. Her support for Bayern Munich began in 2016. The account highlights the dedication of fans who journey long distances and immerse themselves in matchday rituals.
