Europe is gripped by football fever every year between September and May: bars show matches, huge arenas host games, kids play football in the streets, overweight adults play football on pitches in pub teams. However, what sets Europe apart in footballing terms from the rest of the world is the sheer quality of their leagues which are head and shoulders above those from elsewhere around the world. Real Madrid, SL Benfica, FC Internazionale Milano, Manchester United, AS Roma, Bayern Munchen, Ajax, AC Milan, Liverpool, Juventus, Chelsea and Barcelona are all truly world class teams with world class players that play week in week out against other top rate teams in world class stadia. Attending a football match can be a fantastic way of experiencing a city's culture and getting up close and intimate to locals in a what is in most cases a relatively safe environment (see the Stay Safe paragraphs below for country-specific advice).
