Steaua Bucharest fans tricked into forming tifo supporting rival club

Dinamo Bucharest fans managed to brilliantly troll Steaua Bucharest, in a big way.

Steaua Bucharest’s 5–0 thrashing at the hands of Manchester City wasn’t the only indignation the club suffered on Tuesday. 

Before the game, Steaua fans held up placards to form a tifo in one end of the stadium. Little did they know, the tifo had been organized by fans of staunch rival Dinamo Bucharest. 

“Only Dinamo Bucharest,” the signs read.
