13 February 2018

FC Basel vs. Manchester City

While Basel might not stand a reasonable chance against the cash-boosted rivals from Manchester's Eastend, at least the local planespotters will get treated to a line-up of no less than four charter aircraft from MAN:

Juventus vs. Tottenham Hotspur

The Italian champions welcome Spurs to their fancy new stadium. With Spurs fans not really used to this level of European football it is well understandable that they are traveling in reasonable numbers from London to Italy:

Real Madrid vs. Paris St-Germain

The twice successful defending champions receive the ridiculously big spending Paris St-Germain in what looks to be an early exciting encounter. PSG fans are not known for traveling in large numbers, but the prospect of a trip to Santiago Bernabeu seemed to have changed this:
