Anne Hathaway Goes Viral Singing Arsenal Anthem After UCL Win Over Real Madrid

Anne Hathaway went viral after showing her love for Arsenal FC during their stunning 3-0 victory over Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.

Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway sang “North London Forever” passionately at the Emirates Stadium, captivating fans worldwide and sparking mixed reactions.

The surprise moment came shortly after Arsenal’s dominant performance stunned the reigning Champions League titleholders. Hathaway, known for her vocal talents in musicals like Les Misérables, smiled broadly as she sang alongside Arsenal fans, celebrating with unmistakable pride.

Her performance of “North London Forever”, a heartfelt anthem by lifelong Arsenal fan Louis Dunford, instantly went viral. The song, affectionately known by fans as “The Angel,” has become a rallying cry in the Emirates since its release in February 2022.

Dua Lipa wasn’t the only global celebrity in attendance that night. Still, Hathaway’s joyful tribute stole the spotlight and triggered a backlash among Real Madrid supporters, who saw the moment as a premature celebration.

Arsenal’s victory came from two sensational free-kick goals from Declan Rice and a third from Mikel Merino. The win puts Mikel Arteta’s squad in a commanding position, but with the second leg scheduled for April 16 at the Santiago Bernabéu, the battle is far from over.
