London Stadium sees ‘wildest celebration ever’ but West Ham weren’t there

The London Stadium erupted into chaos in the stands on Friday – but the jubilant scenes had nothing to do with West Ham.

Spain took on Colombia in an international friendly at the Hammers’ home, with both sides preparing for Euro 2024 and Copa America respectively.

It was Colombia who were victorious in the end with a 1-0 win, marking the first time the South Americans have ever beaten Spain in their history.

But despite their only goal coming on the hour mark and there being plenty of time left to play, Colombia’s celebrations were something you only ever really see from the most passionate of fan bases.

And unfortunately for Hammers fans, rivals have seized the opportunity to fire digs at their usual support at home.

Liverpool‘s Luis Diaz went on a typically rapid run down the left-wing, before sending in a perfect ball across goal to the far post.

Crystal Palace‘s Daniel Munoz, who had been left unmarked, arrived just on time to spectacularly scissor-kick the ball into the back of Arsenal‘s David Raya‘s net.

The players themselves went wild in celebration, but fans watching the scenes on social media had their eyes glued to those in the stands, and hailing them for creating some of the ‘best limbs’ they’d seen at the London Stadium.

“Best limbs at West Ham you’ll ever see,” one fan wrote.”

A second added: “That stadium has never looked so good.”

“Colombia fans are different gravy,” another said.

Former Everton and Real Madrid star James Rodriguez came on in the second half, donning the no.10 and the captain’s armband.

Meanwhile, Spain boasted Tottenham’s Pedro Porro, ex-Man City man Aymeric Laporte and Alvaro Morata, but couldn’t find the back of the net to mount a comeback.

Spain will face Brazil on Tuesday at the Santiago Bernabeu. First though, the Selecao play England at Wembley on Saturday night, live on talkSPORT.
