The Sofia subway became a reason for Bulgarian fans to mock Luxembourg supporters.

During the soccer nationals' long-awaited 1-0 away win in the Nations League, at the "Stade de Luxembourg" a banner appeared with the text "You don't have a metro"; in pure Bulgarian, and in one of its corners was painted the sign of Metropolitan.

Which of the 400 Bulgarian fans and why he decided to mock Luxembourg in this way is still not clear.

Otherwise, the victory was the first for the "lions" as guests for 2 years in an official match. In 2022 they beat North Macedonia 1-0 in Skopje in a Nations League match.

The victory was also important because of the previous poor results of the national team - the goalless draw with Luxembourg in Plovdiv and the devastating loss with 0:5 against Northern Ireland.

As for the metro, the duchy has an area of 2,586.36 km², and Luxembourg City has buses, trams and trains. From 2020 public transport here is completely free.

Otherwise, Luxembourg is often cited as one of the richest countries in the world. The gross domestic product per capita is the highest in the world, and the duchy has an extremely well-developed financial services sector. The country exports steel, chemicals and rubber.
