📸 Köln fans' creative display at Volkspark with cathedral backdrop | OneFootball

It could be a fateful game for FC Köln, both in terms of the league table and the rest of the first half of the season.

That makes it incredibly important that the fans are fully present tonight at the Hamburg Volksparkstadion.

And the away fans announced this uncompromising support just before kickoff with a creative choreography. 

Under a large banner featuring the Cologne Cathedral, the words "Wenn ich an ming Heimat denke un sin d'r dom vür mir stonn" could be read, which roughly translates to “When I think of my home and the cathedral stands before me,” with lots of red and white underneath and a figure holding a camera.

The flash was obviously represented with the help of a pyro flare. 

It remains to be seen whether the Cologne team can now turn the support from the stands into goals and ultimately into points on the pitch. The first leg ended 4-1 for FC, and currently, after just a few minutes, it’s still 0-0. 

What do you think? Who will take the points in tonight’s top match? Feel free to write your answer in the comments!
