FC Bayern: Club bosses pissed off because of flight chaos

First report from February 7th, 9:01 a.m.:

Berlin / Doha - This was certainly not what FC Bayern had imagined!

Actually, it should go to Qatar directly after the Bundesliga game against Hertha BSC on Friday evening.

The game was brought forward by 30 minutes so that the people of Munich can take off from Berlin for the emirate in time - even before the night flight ban.

But things turned out differently.

Bayern CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is still very upset with a little distance because of the flight chaos.

The heavily delayed departure of the team from Berlin was "a slapstick, a ridiculous number that someone has worked on, hopefully now sitting at home and should think about it," he told the

picture

after arriving in Doha.

Previously, the German air traffic control had not given the aircraft with FC Bayern on board the take-off clearance in view of the night flight restrictions at BER Airport.

FC Bayern Munich at the Club World Cup in Qatar - bosses are still pissed off

“You always had the impression that there was someone in Brandenburg who didn't like FC Bayern or had any problem with FC Bayern and had put obstacles in our way,” said Rummenigge.

According to the Brandenburg Ministry of Infrastructure and State Planning, which is responsible for BER, the request for take-off clearance for the flight was made at 00:03 a.m.

From midnight there is a five-hour flight ban at the capital's airport.

“We were all upset,” said Rummenigge.

The team that stayed overnight on the plane, thanks to the good mood due to the success at Hertha, “didn't do a circus at all” and put away the chaos, ”added the CEO.

He had expected more consideration for FC Bayern from those responsible.

Munich would eventually compete at the Club World Cup in Qatar “as a German club for our country”.

Winning the title "would not look bad on the Bundesliga and therefore also on our country," said Rummenigge.

Previously, the former Bayern President Uli Hoeneß had criticized the incident at BER airport as a "scandal without end".

It is a matter of "insolence on the part of those responsible" and a "shield prank", ranted Hoeneß on Bayerischer Rundfunk.

The German record champions only arrived in Doha on Saturday afternoon.

The time to get used to on site has become tight for Bayern due to the massive departure delay.

A training session is scheduled for Sunday, and a press conference is also scheduled.

Coach Hansi Flick and midfield star Joshua Kimmich are expected from 10.30 a.m. - and then they'll probably also describe how they experienced the hours after the Hertha game.

Already on Monday, Munich will meet Al Ahly SC from Egypt as the European Champions League winner at the Club World Cup in the semifinals.

The final will be played on Thursday.
