The dream is over: Lily Allen breaks down in tears after Atletico Madrid score the winning goal against her team Fulham FC in the Europa Cup final


A gutted Lily Allen broke down in tears last night after watching Fulham FC lose to Atletico Madrid in the UEFA European Cup Final.

Both the singer and actor Hugh Grant were among the celebrity fans who had flown to Hamburg to cheer on The Cottagers.

Hundreds of Fulham supporters were devastated when their dreams of bringing the first European cup back to Craven Cottage failed to materialise


Joined by her grandfather, Lily was glued to her seat watching the action on the pitch at the HSH Nordbank Arena.

While initially looking hopeful, quaffing the local beer as he watched the game, life-long Fulham fan Grant's happiness soon turned to despair when Fulham crashed out.

The game started off well with Fulham equalising Atletico's first goal in the 37th minute.

Writing on her Twitter page ahead of the game, Allen admitted she was incredibly nervous for the Cottagers.

She wrote: 'Off to Hamburg with my Grandad. Come on you whites...

'Oh my god. On my way to the ground. I'm too nervous . Arrrrrggghh.'

Allen was caught on camera by Channel 5 in the crowd and said she was 'very proud and very nervous' that her team had got to the final.

Grant has been a Fulham FC fan since he was a child and even worked as an assistant groundsman at Craven Cottage before finding fame in Four Weddings And A Funeral.
