From Stockholm to Dublin, Leeds United fans have been following the club in their numbers this pre-season, with over 130,000 in attendance across three games.

The Whites’ summer kicked off in style with a trip to Sweden, as Daniel Farke's side faced Premier League rivals Man Utd at Stockholm's Strawberry Arena, in front of a crowd of 45,345, including Hollywood star Will Ferrell.

Drowning out the opposition supporters throughout the 90 minutes, Leeds fans watched on as the two sides played out a 0-0 draw in the Swedish capital, with new signings Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Sean Longstaff on display for the first time.

Back on home turf after a training camp in Germany, Leeds hosted Spanish Champions League side Villarreal at Elland Road, with 35,273 turning out to watch the Whites go toe-to-toe in a lively 1–1 draw.

Joel Piroe notched his fourth goal in three games for the Whites, whilst Leeds' summer signings got their first taste of playing in front of an Elland Road crowd, against a side featuring Spanish internationals Yeremy Pino and Gerard Moreno.

The final stop on the pre-season tour saw the club's fans take over Dublin for the weekend, as the Whites took on Serie A giants AC Milan at the Aviva Stadium.

Selling out the 51,711-capacity stadium – with over 98% of those in attendance being Leeds fans – the atmosphere in the Irish capital was electric, as the two sides battled to a 1-1 draw, with supporters treated to a superb Anton Stach free-kick.
