Abstract: A lot of people in football – coaches, managers, players and fans – are talking, that in football exists “twelfth player”. They means that fans in stadium of course. Is is truth or only myth? “Covid season” gave a chance to see football matches without fans in all countries. We compared results of many football clubs in matches with and without fans. At first glance there were no differences. But then we chose “legendary teams” – known by the largest number of ultra fans (Liverpool FC, Galatasaray, Schalke, Celtic, Napoli…). Aaand – there were significant differences!
