Liverpool’s Anfield clinches second spot in top 30 stadiums as one of football's most electric stadiums

Liverpool's Anfield has been ranked as the second-best in the world in terms of atmosphere in the sport, cementing it's place as one of the most iconic venues in football. The top 30 list was released by France Football (via SPORTBible) and has the Merseyside's old famous ground ranked just behind Boca Junior's La Bombonera. 

Liverpool's Anfield ranked second best stadium in the world

Few places in world football come close to the ambience for a night under the lights at Anfield. The infamous Kop stand has led the stadium in bellowing the iconic anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone' before every game. 

In some of the club's greatest moments, this mood has felt integral to Liverpool's identity, brilliant in itself. The Reds came from a 3-0 deficit in the 2019 Champions League semi-final to beat Barcelona 4-0 (4-3 aggregate) in one of the most memorable displays of Anfield's might. 

Recently, the Anfield Road End and the Main stand was redeveloped as the stadium's capacity rose to 61,000. There are plans to refurbish the stadium's flagship retail store. The Premier League saw Newcastle United's St. James' Park join Anfield on the list, as they are ranked 22nd in the top 30 list.
