Real Madrid's journey to the Champions League match in Leipzig was anything but royal. First, an alternative route via Erfurt had to be used after the strike at the airport in the trade fair city, then there was a near-crash with the Madrid bus on the A4 highway near Eichelborn. A police spokesman said in response to a dpa inquiry in Erfurt that a driver had probably hit the bus with his vehicle due to carelessness. He damaged the wing mirror of his car in the process. The Real bus, which was accompanied by the police, escaped with a scratch, the team with a scare. The newspaper "Bild" had first reported on this.
"We arrived safely, everything went well," said Carlo Ancelotti. The Whites arrived at their hotel in the heart of Leipzig shortly before 3 p.m. before the final training session in the evening.
