Bayern Faces Delays Before Crucial Match Against HSV
As the kick-off approaches, Bayern Munich has faced unexpected travel challenges ahead of their match at Volksparkstadion. Scheduled to depart on Friday around 5 PM with two private jets, the club’s plan was thwarted due to dense fog at Oberpfaffenhofen Airport.
Travel Disruptions
The departure was delayed by approximately 30 minutes, but the situation worsened, leading to the cancellation of flights. In response, the team was divided and transported by bus to alternative airports. This included:
- One group was taken to a smaller airport near Augsburg.
- The other group went to Ingolstadt/Manching Air Base, a military airfield with civilian use.
Interestingly, the portion of the team traveling to Augsburg was able to board a flight previously used by FC St. Pauli, who had just landed to face FC Augsburg in their matchup.
Arrival in Hamburg
According to flight data, the team finally arrived in Hamburg around 8:30 PM, experiencing a delay of over two hours. They reached their hotel shortly after 9 PM, which is less than ideal preparation for such an important match.
Match Expectations
The pressure on Bayern Munich is increasing as fans expect them to return to form. Recently, the team has shown vulnerability, struggling to maintain their usual dominance. This became evident in their matches against Köln and Leipzig, culminating in a surprising loss to FC Augsburg—their first defeat of the season.
As they prepare for this crucial encounter against HSV, Bayern looks to regain their momentum and deliver a strong performance on the pitch.
