It may be a common chant inside Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena nowadays, but it was the Belgian Club Brugge who first popularised the song.The Blue Army of Brugge heard it in a pub in Milan and after their victory, they adopted it as their anthem.

By the time Euro 2012 came around it was the tournament’s official goal song.Jack White claimed that the song’s popularity at live sporting events was a huge honour for him and said, &quot;I love that most people who are chanting it have no idea where it came from.
