But even more thrilling than the euphoria they get for home matches, is the adrenaline that rushes through the body on away days - and particularly on visits to the world's most iconic grounds.

Whether it is knowing that you are about to witness a masterclass of tiki-taka football from up in the gods at the Nou Camp, or that you will be mesmerised by the ever-changing colours on the outside of the Allianz Arena, or even if you are lucky enough to walk along Wembley way on cup final day (unfortunately some clubs have trodden this path far too irregularly) - all these away trips make football really worth watching.
