Munich – FC Bayern has set out on its journey to the away game in Naples – but in an inappropriate outfit.
However, that should be the only glitch.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has already warned.
Even though the special flight LH 2570 did not bring the FC Bayern Munich entourage to the fashion city of Milan at 10.35 a.m. on Monday, but to Naples, the Bayern players boarded the plane in fine anthracite-colored suits with a gray waistcoat.
But this has less fashionable and more pragmatic reasons.
"It's cold here in Munich," said Bayern captain Philipp Lahm before departing for the Champions League game at the foot of Mount Vesuvius.
The left-back probably hadn't checked the internet.
In Naples, Lahm and the other Bayern players expected a pleasant 19 degrees and sunshine ahead of Tuesday's game at SSC Naples.
The Reds are likely to work up a sweat in their winter outfit.

Rummenigge warns against high spirits
But not only thanks to the blue vest, the Munich team feel well prepared for the game in front of the 60,000 fans in the San Paolo stadium.
With a view to the twelve competitive games in a row without conceding a goal and the grandiose 4-0 in the dress rehearsal against Hertha BSC, the Bayern players had a lot of self-confidence with them.
"We still want to be top of the group after the two games against Napoli," said Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
"We want to avoid the strong opponents in the round of 16."
Zwtl: Lahm is hot and hungry for titles
Is FC Bayern already the measure of all things after two victories in the Champions League?
No, replied Captain Philipp Lahm.
That's still FC Barcelona.
"But we want to show our ability to be as good as the Champions League winners in every game," said Lahm about the new modesty.
The title in their own stadium on May 19, 2012 is the big goal.
However, no one puts it so boldly.
Lahm only says: "We are hungry and hot to win titles this season."
Long-term patient Arjen Robben, who after his groin operation was just as little on the plane to Naples as Breno, wants that too.
The defender, who was released from prison, had at least started running again over the weekend.
