The account that posted it, however, manipulated the original video by \u201cpasting\u201d the melody of the Serbian national anthem on it. The mentioned video was created almost four years ago, and the wrong anthem for the Albanian national team was sung, but it was not the anthem of Serbia but of Andorra.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Football players in red jerseys stand before the start of the match, while the anthem \u201cGod of Justice\u201d is heard in the background &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@srpski.insajder\/video\/7216233598603644165?is_from_webapp=1&amp;sender_device=pc&amp;web_id=7169261259002545669\">this is shown in a video<\/a> that is widely shared on TikTok these days. At the bottom of the video, it features the following &#8211; \u201cWrong anthem at the Albania match or is it not wrong after all?\u201d. A close-up of the footballers&#8217; faces shows that some of them are confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video was posted on TikTok by the \u201cSrpski insajder\u201d,\u00a0 which mainly shares content related to football and is followed by over 21,000 people. The half-minute-long video was shared last week and has so far collected over 31,000 likes on this social network, and almost 670,000 people have seen it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-tiktok wp-block-embed-tiktok\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@srpski.insajder\/video\/7216233598603644165?embed_source=null%3Bnull%3Bembed_blank&#038;refer=embed&#038;referer_url=www.raskrikavanje.rs%2Fpage.php%3Fid%3DAlbanskoj-reprezentaciji-intonirana-himna-Boze-pravde-pre-meca-Netacno-1168&#038;referer_video_id=7216233598603644165\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is a video that has been manipulated because the melody of the anthem \u201cGod of Justice\u201d has been pasted onto the original recording, which is not heard on the recording.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As can be determined in just a few minutes, the video was created on September 7, 2019, before the start of the match between the players of Albania and France in Paris. Then, instead of the Albanian anthem, the Andorran anthem was mistakenly played, not \u201cGod of Justice\u201d.
