The City Ground faithful have done it again. In one of the most electric European nights in recent memory, Nottingham Forest turned up the heat and left FC Porto reeling as the Reds marched forward in the Europa League. But while the result on the pitch sent shockwaves through Portugal, it was the away end – and then the streets of Nottingham – that truly stole the show.
Thousands of Forest supporters, many of whom made the long and expensive trip to the Estádio do Dragão, didn’t just back their team – they created something special. As the final whistle blew on a dominant performance that saw Forest dismantle Porto with relentless pressing, clinical finishing, and that famous never-say-die spirit, a brand new chant erupted from the red army.
The new chant quickly spread like wildfire on social media, with fans declaring: **“This one is going global.”**
### The New Chant That’s Taking Over
To the familiar, bouncing melody that has powered many iconic football anthems, Forest fans belted out:
**“We’ve destroyed Porto, we’ve destroyed Porto!
Ee-i, ee-i, ee-i-o!
We’ve destroyed Porto, we’ve destroyed Porto!
This one is going global!”**
(Repeated with growing volume, claps, and jumps – the kind that makes the whole stand shake.)
It’s simple, catchy, and perfectly timed. The repetition of “we’ve destroyed Porto” hits hard after a convincing victory, while the cheeky “This one is going global” line is already being predicted to echo around stadiums across Europe and beyond. Videos of the chant exploding in the away section have racked up hundreds of thousands of views overnight, with rival fans (and even neutrals) admitting it’s one of the better new terrace creations this season.
### How It All Unfolded
Nottingham Forest arrived in Portugal as underdogs in many eyes, but Nuno Espírito Santo’s side produced a performance full of Premier League quality. From the first whistle, Forest pressed high, won duels in midfield, and created chance after chance. Porto, playing in front of their passionate home crowd, looked rattled.
Goals flew in at key moments, with Forest’s attackers linking up beautifully and the defence standing firm against late pressure. By the end, it wasn’t just a win – it felt like a statement. The Reds had “destroyed” one of Portugal’s giants on their own patch.
Back in the stands, the 2,500+ travelling supporters (plus those watching at home) were in dreamland. The new chant started small, then built into a deafening roar. Phones came out, recordings went viral, and within hours fans back in Nottingham were already practising it in pubs and on social media.
One Forest supporter posted: “We’ve had some belters over the years, but this one feels different. It’s fun, it’s proud, and it’s ours. This one really is going global.”
### Why This Chant Hits Different
Football chants are more than just noise – they capture the mood of a moment. After years of yo-yo between divisions, financial battles, and building a competitive Premier League side, Nottingham Forest fans are finally enjoying their European adventure to the fullest.
This new chant celebrates not just the result against Porto, but the journey. It’s defiant, joyful, and full of that classic Forest swagger. “Destroying” big European names is what the club’s history is built on – think back to those legendary European Cup nights under Brian Clough. The fans are reminding everyone: the Reds are back, and they’re here to make noise.
Social media reactions have been pouring in:
– “Best new chant of the season by a mile. Forest fans never disappoint!”
– “Already singing this in the shower. This one IS going global 😂🌳”
– “Porto fans quiet… Forest fans loud. Love it.”
Even some neutral accounts and rival supporters have shared the videos, praising the creativity and energy.
### What’s Next for the Reds?
With momentum building in the Europa League, Nottingham Forest will now look ahead to the return leg and the rest of their campaign. A strong home performance at the City Ground could set up a mouth-watering quarter-final or beyond.
But regardless of what happens on the pitch, one thing is clear: the fans have created a new terrace anthem that will be sung for years to come. Every time Forest face a big European side, expect to hear:
“We’ve destroyed Porto… This one is going global!”
It’s more than a chant. It’s a declaration.
Up the Reds. 🌳🔴
The Forest family is united, loud, and ready to take over Europe – one chant at a time.
