Leipzig make team bus available to bring fans back from Madrid


RB Leipzig will make their team bus available for a small group of fans for the return trip from Wednesday night’s Champions League last 16 match at Real Madrid.

Some fans may have difficulties returning to Germany on Thursday and Friday because of planned strike action by the entire ground staff of German carrier Lufthansa which has led to wide-ranging flight cancellations.

Leipzig said that 10-15 fans can make the unique trip back with the team bus which is also transporting the players’ equipment. The trip is to last around 30 hours, with an overnight stop in France also paid for by the Bundesliga club.

The team returns by charter flight, and the club has also chartered four planes to bring fans to Madrid and back, all of these not affected by the strike.

More than 4,000 Leipzig fans were expected to attend the game at the Bernabeu where their team faces a difficult task of trying to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg.
