UEFA Champions League Group Stage MD6 - 12 December 2023

Manchester United vs. FC Bayern München

United require a win and probably some extra luck if they want to proceed to the knock-out stage. But with the run of results in this group stage, proceeding towards the Europa League is probably the best they can hope for. Bayern München have qualified top of the group already and yet cause a nice amount of extra traffic between MUC and MAN.

FC Kobenhavn vs. Galatasaray

It is almost a straight shootout between Kobehavn and Galatasaray for the second spot in this group. In case of a draw, Kobenhavn remain in front. But in this case, a win for Manchester United in the other game could lead to both teams leaving the Champions League after the group stage. Galatasaray will travel by Turkish A330-300 just as for the two previous away fixtures.

RC Lens vs. Sevilla CF

Both teams are eliminated from the Champions League already. The Europa League knock-out play-off spot is still up for grabs between Lens and Sevilla however. The visitors need a simple win to clinch this spot and make it through to the UEL once again to defend the title that brought them into the Champions League.

PSV Eindhoven vs. Arsenal

There is literally nothing at stake between PSV and Arsenal, with both team through to the round of 16 already. Arsenal will travel to the Netherlands with Titan Airways, late on Monday afternoon.

Union Berlin vs. Real Madrid

Hosts Union Berlin still stand a chance of making it to the Europa League knock-out stage. For this, they are dependent on the result of the other game in the group however. Real Madrid are already assured of the top spot in this group and might look to rest a few key players. They will arrive in Berlin as usual, using an Iberia Airbus A321.

SSC Napoli vs. SC Braga

The visitors from the North of Portugal still have a slight chance to win promotion into the round of 16. They will have to beat Napoli away in Italy however, which is definitely not an easy task. Two aircraft will take the senior team and the Youth League team from Porto to Napoli.

Stade Rennais vs. Sevilla CF

The French hosts may be out of the Champions League already, but they get one more game against the Europa League title holders, who for once will not get the chance to defend their title. Sevilla will arrive in Rennes with Privilege Style, as usual:

PVG1890 SVQ 1100-xxxx RNS B752 (07/12/20)

Chelsea FC vs. FK Krasnodar

Thanks to a 4-0 win away in Seville, Chelsea are through to the round of 16. Krasnodar on the other hand have made it to the Europa League round of 32, as they can not be moved away from the 3rd place in this group any more. In what could very well be a first landing, they will arrive at Farnborough of all places, with Ural Airlines, on an A320:

SVR3337 KRR 1130-1315 FAB A320 (07/12/20)

SS Lazio Roma vs. Club Brugge

Brugge still have a chance to make it into the round of 16. To do so, they would have to beat Lazio in Rome however, which is not an easy prospect. Brugge will travel to Italy with Brussels Airlines:

SN1155 OST xxxx-1210 FCO A319 (07/12/20)

FK Zenit St. Petersburg vs. Borussia Dortmund

Already qualified for the next round, Borussia Dortmund travel to Zenit who are already out of the competition. They will do so with Eurowings and most probably their "own" branded A320 D-AIZR. The return flight will be to Paderborn, to allow a swift return from Russia, despite the night flight restrictions at Dortmund.

FC Barcelona vs. Juventus Turin

Juve will once again face Barcelona, in a matchup that has been a final before, in 2015 for example. Both sides are already through to the round of 16 and all there is to play for is the group win. Barça has the advantage there, having beaten Juve 2-0 away in Turin in October. Juve will travel with Alitalia as usual:

Dynamo Kyiv vs. Ferencvaros Budapest

Ferencvaros will travel to Kyiv with Wizz Air, but unlike most other teams who arrive at Borispol airport, they will arrive at Zhuliany airport, where Wizz Air also send its regular flights to Kyiv.

WZZ9003 BUD 1015-1300 IEV A321 (07/12/20)

Paris St-Germain vs. Istanbul Basaksehir

The Turkish champions Basaksehir are already out, while PSG is looking to seal a spot in the round of 16. A draw may already be enough for PSG, but to make sure, they would probably want to win against a side that has "only" beaten Manchester United so far, but lost out against Leipzig very late in the previous game. Basaksehir will travel to Paris with Turkish Airlines.

Most of the time, Manchester United is traveling with thought-to-be VIP-type planes, so them using Air Horizont to Leipzig may come as a small surprise:

Manchester United vs. Istanbul Basaksehir

For the first time ever, the lesser club from Istanbul, Basaksehir has made it to the Champions League. They have only three points in the bank so far, one could think. These came courtesy of a home win against none less than Manchester United however. Ole Gunnair Solskjaer's troops will be eager for revenge at Old Trafford. Basaksehir will arrive in Manchester with Turkish Airlines, using a Boeing 737-800 for their charter flight:

FK Krasnodar vs. Sevilla CF

Sevilla are heading to the East, looking to build on their strong position. They are currently in second place, on course for a spot in the Round of 16. To stay ahead of Krasnodar and Rennes behind them, even a draw would do just nicely. Sevilla will travel out to the early Tuesday fixture on Sunday afternoon already, using one of Privilege Style's Boeing 757-200s.

PVG1890 SVQ 1530-2245 KRR B752 (22/11/20)

Paris St-Germain vs. RB Leipzig

In the previous round, RB Leipzig came from behind and beat a very ill-disciplined PSG 2-1. The French hosts will look to bounce back from this disastrous effort out in Germany, while Leipzig could make big strides towards the round of 16 already. The visitors will arrive in Paris with Avanti Air:

ATV201H LEJ 1255-xxxx CDG F100 (23/11/20)

SS Lazio Roma vs. Zenit St. Petersburg

Lazio have had a good start to this European season, beating Borussia Dortmund and drawing the next two games against Brugge and Zenit. They will now need to win against a Zenit team that is desperate for points to at least be able to save themselves into the Europa League.

Barcelona are off to Kyiv to try and maintain their clean record in this season's Champions League so far. They have won all three games and if they win in Kyiv too, they will be qualified for the Round of 16 already. For once, Barcelona will travel with Privilege Style:

Juventus vs. Ferencvaros Budapest

The Hungarian champions have only scored one point so far in the group stage. Their trip to Italy is not an easy one though, travelling to Juventus who are looking to make a big step forward towards the Round of 16. Ferencvaros will arrive in Torino with Wizz Air:

 24 September 2020

Bayern München vs. Real Madrid (in Budapest)

Champions League winners Bayern München will arrive in Budapest with Lufthansa on a Lufthansa Airbus A319. They will not return to Munich however, but to Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden. Their next away game will be at Sinsheim, against TSG 1899 Hoffenheim. Still, this seems slightly surprising, as Bayern are well known to have used widebody aircraft of Lufthansa for similar trips.

Still, the Roma fans seem to be willing to see this game and will travel out in good numbers, though Vueling is on the act again, seemingly flooding the football market:

The German serial champions got their wish in terms of an easy draw on the pitch. Besiktas may have won their group, but certainly will not be favourites against Bayern. Off the pitch, things may get spicy, with the German-Turkish encounter certainly attracting lots of Turkish supporters who live in Germany.
