"Mailand oder Madrid? Hauptsache Italien!" Diese berühmte Aussage
von Andreas Möller nahmen sich einige Fans von Athletic Bilbao zu
Herzen. Als die Basken in der vergangenen Woche zum
Europa-League-Finale ihres Klubs nach Bukarest reisen wollten, landeten
sie in Budapest.
Das Kurioseste an der Geschichte: Nicht nur ein paar, sondern gleich
mehr als 400 Athletic-Fans flogen laut caughtoffside.com in die
ungarische Hauptstadt.
Um das Spiel am Mittwochabend noch sehen zu können, war die mehr
als 800 Kilometer lange Weiterreise in den Süden Rumäniens zu
weit.
Doch das Ganze hat auch eine positive Seite. So blieb den Bilbao-Fans
wenigstens der Live-Schmerz der 0:3-Niederlage ihres Teams gegen
Atletico Madrid erspart.

Lost in translation: Bilbao fans get their countries confused for Europa League Final
Around 400 Athletic Bilbao fans chartered a plane to Budapest, instead of Bucharest, and missed out on the Final
It's to be hoped Chelsea fans heading to the Champions League Final on
Saturday have a better sense of direction than some Athletic Bilbao
fans.
The Basque club supporters wanted to watch their heroes take on
Atletico Madrid in last Wednesday’s Europa League final in
Bucharest. It was the biggest game of Bilbao’s season.
So 400 Bilbao fans decided to charter their own plane to take them to
the final. And that’s where they made a colossal mistake.
The final was in Bucharest, capital of Romania. The Athletico special
flight took the fans from Bilbao to Budapest, the capital of Hungary.
They were only 397 miles from where they needed to be.
They were stranded in Budapest and were not able to make new
arrangements for the entire group of fans to be transported to the big
game.
The fans desperately tried to book train and bus tickets but then
discovered their next problem. Their charter flight was booked to fly
home soon after the game finished - and the plane remained in Budapest.
A Bilbao victory would have been some consolation. But they lost 3-0.
And, believe it or not, the official UEFA match annnouncer inside the stadium made a terrible mistake.
