Curious ban: District class measure against FC Bayern - Hansi Flick improvises in front of Barca crackers

Quarter-finals of the premier class: FC Bayern against Barcelona. The glamorous show was hit by earthly problems in advance. Flick improvised.

• The FC Bayern * start against Barcelona in the final tournament of the Champions League.
• The games will take place at the Estàdio da Luz in Lisbon , Portugal.
• During the final training a strange situation arose for Hansi Flick .

Lisbon - On Friday evening, FC Bayern starts the final tournament of the Champions League *. With the win against Chelsea, the Munich team qualified for the special event and started directly with the hit against Barcelona (Friday from 9 p.m. in the live ticker). But even in the shiny premier class you can't avoid some very earthly problems. What happened to Hansi Flick * before the quarter-final match should be much more familiar to most amateur coaches.

This doesn't mean the long- standing question marks in front of the final squad . Jerome Boateng, Alphonso Davies and Kingsley Coman were questionable until the very end. Benjamin Pavard is probably traveling after the FCB crowd and may be an option in a possible semi-final . The staff mess was resolved shortly before the big evening. Bayern could start with this line-up.

FC Bayern versus FC Barcelona: curious surprise before the Champions League quarter-finals in Lisbon

But it got rather strange with Hansi Flick's last session before the Barca game . For the final training , the Bayern stars and the coaching team went to the Estàdio da Luz . For the professionals everything as usual, before each match * you usually warm up again at the later location of the action. When we arrived at the stadium, however, a surprising situation arose .

The groundsman of the Portuguese football temple had cordoned off the penalty area . With white ribbons he clearly marked: No one will be in the sixteenth today . There was a portable goal on the edge of the penalty area.

FC Bayern: penalty area ban before Barcelona game - Hansi Flick improvised

The picture was there and photographed the unfamiliar Champions League view . She also claims to have found out the reason for the sixteen ban. The condition of the lawn in the five-meter space became critical after the game by Atalanta Bergamo against Paris Saint-Germain, it is said. And including Bayern-Barca, three more games will take place in the Estàdio da Luz as part of the final tournament . So that the green can recover, there was the restriction for Bayern . The same thing happened to the Catalans before.

Particularly bizarre: Hansi Flick had apparently not warned the stadium officials and Bayern employees . After arriving on the pitch, he asked team manager Kathleen Krüger * about the barrier tape and discussed an alternative plan with her , reports Bild from Lisbon. But improvisation was quickly found. A goal was carried to the center line and after warming up, the training kick started over half the field . (* tz.de is part of the Ippen editorial network.)
