Bayern won against Hertha on Friday. After that, the record champions wanted to fly directly from Berlin to Qatar. But the journey to the Club World Cup was delayed due to the weather chaos.
The arrival of the FC Bayern to Klub-WM in Qatar has become a tough test of patience at Berlin Airport. After the 1-0 win against Hertha BSC on Friday evening the German record champions quickly disappeared from the Olympic Stadium to get the flight to Doha for the Club World Cup.
This was scheduled for 11:15 p.m. On Saturday morning, however, the Bavarians tweeted: “FC Bayern are now more than seven hours late due to a refused entry permit FIFA Club World Cup to Doha. “From Berlin we didn’t go to Qatar, but back to Munich. There, because of the waiting in Berlin, the crew of flight QR 7402 had to be changed, as the Bavarians also announced on Twitter should then go on to Doha.
The good mood is likely to be a thing of the past for the players on board. “It will be a nice flight. That’s how we imagined it,” had Hansi Flick still on Friday evening in the Olympic Stadium after the fifth victory in the Bundesliga said one after the other for the clear leader.
Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said the “Bild”: “We feel totally ripped off by the authorities in charge of Brandenburg politics. Those in charge don’t even know what they did to our team.”
Without Goretzka and Martínez
The Munich team started the trip with a 22-man squad, but without the German international Leon Goretzka and the Spaniard Javi martinez. Both have to pause because of positive corona results. It is not ruled out that they will follow suit. “We have to look at it from day to day,” stressed Flick, but also limited: “It looks a little better with Leon, with Javi it will probably not be enough.”
This Monday, Bayern will meet Al Ahly SC from Egypt as the European Champions League winners in the semi-finals. The final will take place on Thursday next week.
According to BER, the machine would have been ready to go
From the point of view of BER Airport, the FC Bayern plane to Qatar would have been ready for departure on Saturday night. “From our point of view nothing spoke against the fact that the plane takes off as planned”, said airport spokeswoman Sabine Deckwerth on Saturday the German press agency. The QR 7402 aircraft could have taken off from midnight to 5 a.m. before the start of the night flight ban.
But she was not allowed to take off. This is generally issued by air traffic control. From a legal point of view, however, the Ministry of Infrastructure and State Planning is responsible when it comes to exemptions during the night flight ban. In the case of a night flight ban, a machine must have taken off at the start of the night.
