Galatasaray fans’ tifo features lions chasing Andrea Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo

Just when you think you’ve seen the biggest and baddest tifo you’re ever going to see, a new one arrives that moves the bar even higher.

Galatasaray supporters unleashed a massive tifo display on Tuesday before their team's UEFA Champions League group stage match against Real Madrid.

It took over a minute to completely unfurl all the elements of the display that started with a huge color background that was overlapped by multiple large banners that included various members of the team in armor (I think). The best part though was the lower bowl banner that appears to feature Andrea Pirlo and Cristiano Ronaldo being chased by a lions.

Congratulations Galatasaray fans, you win the day.

In case you missed the amazing display, here’s a video of the entire production:
