VIDEO: This is what it’s like to walk out onto the pitch before Serbia’s ‘Eternal Derby’

Fiery cauldron

Us British fans like to think we’re pretty passionate about sports, but deep down we all know we don’t really hold a candle to our continental counterparts.

Sure, the North London derby seems to always be good for a few goals while up in Scotland, the Old Firm derby still sets the benchmark for atmosphere in the UK.

But we’re willing to bet neither is as intimidating to play in as the ‘Eternal Derby’ in Serbia, between Red Star Belgrade and Partizan Belgrade.

As you can see from the video below, walking from the changing rooms to the pitch feels less like you’re about to go play a fun game with your mates and more like evacuating a city during an air strike.
