Other than the Bayern game, the Basel game is the most pissed I’ve been at a Euro away.
Flew to Zurich the day before the game With my lad and my best mate; got the train to Basel. Then had a relatively sedate night. Pissed, but not slaughtered. Found an amazing restaurant tbf. The schnitzel was amazing.
The day of the match we started drinking early. Saw

Was utterly slaughtered by lunchtime. Carried on drinking heavily all afternoon and early evening. Late afternoon, those two (lad and mate) went back to the hotel; I went to find them about an hour before kick off and I found my mate walking around the corridors of the hotel naked. He looked very confused.
We still made the game and the seats were amazing. With a loads of blues in the Basel end. Near the front, close to the halfway line. Did well to land them. Great set of lads too. We were all on tv after the third City goal.
Carried on drinking after the game, and then got the train back to Zurich the next day - and met a mate who lives there for lunch. It was a great lunch too. Overlooking Lake Zurinch.
It was a brilliant trip. I miss those Euro always. One a season is enough, but they are such fun.
