New Delhi:
An old video of a football fan making a paper airplane and setting it alight during a match in front of a packed stadium has gone viral again on the internet.
During the UEFA Nations League clash between Germany and England at Munich’s Allianz Arena in June this year, a bored fan made a paper airplane out of his match ticket. The fan launched the plane from his seat towards the players on the pitch, which was located high up in the stadium.

In the viral video, the paper airplane “takes off” at astonishing speed as the fan launches it. It glides towards the players and stays in the air for an astonishing nearly 25 seconds before going past keeper Jordan Pickford and into the England net. The “goal” was cheered hysterically throughout the stadium, with many claiming that the stunt was good enough for a Guinness World Record for the longest duration a paper airplane traveled.
Social media was soon filled with videos of paper airplanes landing behind the net.
“Unbelievable goal,” tweeted one person. Some even responded by saying that it was one of the highlights of an otherwise dull game.
The match ended in a 1–1 draw with Jonas Hofmann taking Germany’s lead before a Harry Kane penalty in the 50th minute brought the scores level late in the game.
