Real Madrid supporters who traveled to London from Barcelona this Friday to watch the Champions League final against Dortmund on Saturday at Wembley made the trip aboard a plane sponsored by arch-enemy FC Barcelona.
They weren’t ready. Several dozen Real Madrid supporters laughed with laughter on Friday as they headed to England to attend the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday evening at Wembley (9 p.m.). Those taking off from Barcelona’s El-Prat airport did not expect to travel on a plane in the colors of Barça. In April, the airline Vueling, partner of the Barcelona women’s team, customized one of its aircraft for the girls’ C1 semi-final against Chelsea. The future European champions thus traveled for the first time to London in this blaugrana-colored plane, on which the portraits of Aitana Bonmati and her partners appear.
“Wasn’t there another plane to go to London?”
And it was therefore on board this aircraft that Real Madrid supporters had to board this Friday. With different feelings. If the most superstitious, amused people see it as a good omen since the Catalans were crowned European champions last week against Olympique Lyonnais, those who have a fierce hatred of Barça must not have appreciated being seated on seats customized with the Catalan club logo during the 2.5 hour flight.
“Wasn’t there another plane to go to London,” a passenger jokingly asked the crew members. This little story and the videos relayed on social networks also made Barça members laugh. “When they get off the plane, they will all be dead,” predicted a Barcelona supporter.
