The most recent tifo came at the weekend as Inter Milan fans trolled Juve. Twitter

Tifos have been used throughout recent footballing times, to create an image using multiple fans throughout the stadium before a match. The most recent was during Inter Milan's goalless draw against Juventus at the weekend, so we decided to create a definitive list of the best tifos of all time.

10. Porto's Dragon:

Porto creates shockwaves around the stadium when flairs were lit inside the eye sockets of the dragon. Needless to say that Porto went onto win the match 1-0 against Benfica.

9. Barcelona's 12th Man:

Barcelona promised a spectical in this year's 'El Clasico' against Real Mardid. The Camp Nou was convirted into a sea of red, blue and yellow alongside having a huge 12th man Barca shirt.

8. Galatasary recreate Graeme Souness' Flag:

15 years previously, after winning the Turkish Cup against Fenerbahce, Graeme Souness went into the middle of the pitch and placed a Galatasaray flag in the centre circle. This tifo pays tribute to him.

7. Hapoel Petach Tikva's Musical Reincarnation:

Spelt out in Hebrew letters the music reads: “Suddenly we begin to play Beethoven’s Für Elise”.

6. Dinamo Bucharest's Live Symphony Orchestra:

While the whole stadium might not be covered, Dinamo use a live Orchestra playing infront of the goal to accompany the tifo behind them in their match against serious rivals Steaua.

5. Zamalek's Smokin' and White Knights creation:

Unbelievably this wasn’t organized by the team but actually Zamalek’s ultras who call themselves the ‘White Knights’. Their timing is so precise that dictator Kim Jong-un would be proud of their choreography.

4. Borussia Dortmund's Yellow Wall:

This tifo came before Dortmund's Champions League clash with Málaga back in 2013 the year in which they made it all the way to the final but Robben's 89th-minute winner ultimately took the trophy away from them. The text reads "On the trail of the lost Cup".

3. Al Hilal's Mortal Kombat:

The fans across one side of the stadium showed an iconic video game character 'Sub-Zero' before turning over their cards to create a massive "Finish 'em" sign.

2. Borussia Dortmund's Giant Skull:

This would have to be one of the scariest entrances to a stadium for a footballer. The speakers are blasting out heavy rock while thousands of fans hold up a gigantic skull. The match was against Wolfsburg in 2011, and safe to say that Dortmund won the game 5-1.

1. FC Copenhagen's Stadium Destruction:

This has to be the most creative tifo ever made in football, and was seen in Copenhagen's match against Brondby. The first banner read, "The order has been given to shoot down the enemy," with the second reading, "Copenhagen is ours".
