Soccer is a worldwide sport. Almost everyone knows about it. Almost every country has a national soccer team. With billions of fans and billions of dollars generated by the sport, there is no surprise that almost every fourth person is a fan. Although this community itself is divided into teams and players, like every other sport.

The beauty of this game is how it integrates people from all different backgrounds and makes them carry a common passion for the legendary teams. And among these fans, there are several celebrities too. Along with popular icons like Harry Styles, and Adele, Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown is also a big soccer fan. The 18-year-old revealed her favorite team in an interview back in 2016.

Eleven’s favorite soccer team

In late December 2016, Brown visited Anfield to watch a match between Manchester City and Liverpool. The match was closed and Liverpool managed to win 1-0. We saw the actress supporting Liverpool FC during the match. She then had an interview in which she talked about how she became a Liverpool fan.
