UEFA Champions League Group Stage MD5 - 29 November 2023

FC Bayern München vs. FC Kopenhagen

There is still everything up for grabs for the Danish visitors. Expecting them to win away in Munich might be a tough ask. But in the quest for a spot in the round of 16, FCK will look to do an inside job at the Allianz Arena. Bayern on the other hand are already confirmed as group winners and might want to rest some key players in a busy period ahead of the short winter break.

Galatasaray Istanbul vs. Manchester United

Man United have had a campaign to forget so far. They will look to get back on track in the hostile atmosphere of Galatasaray. Many teams have suffered there before and Manchester United will have to dig deep to come up as winners against the Turkish champions.

Sevilla CF vs. PSV Eindhoven

Group B is still very open and PSV need to make sure to get a positive result away in Sevilla. They will come up against a side that is in trouble in their league. But European Cup nights have always brought out the best in Sevilla, no matter what the league situation was.

Real Sociedad San Sebastian vs. FC Salzburg

Together with Inter, Real Sociedad have already qualified for the knock-out stages in spring. On the other hand, Salzburg will be keen to keep the third spot to access the Europa League in 2024. With Youth League obligations and some supporters traveling as well, there will be three flights from Salzburg to the Basque Country. The team will fly to Biarritz while the supporters will land in Bilbao.

Napoli are looking for points to follow Real Madrid into the round of 16. Just a draw might already be enough for the Italians though, depending on the outcome of the other game in this group on the same night. Real could use a draw to just seal the top spot in the group.

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:

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:

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.

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:

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.

Borussia Dortmund vs. SS Lazio Rome

It will be a first Champions League appearance for Tayaran Jet's newly designed Lazio Roma logojet, LZ-TYR, taking the team to Dortmund on the day before the game. Both teams can clinch a berth for the round of 16, depending on the other game in the group. A win for either side will mean that they are qualified for the knockout stage.

Dynamo have slightly more to play for than Juve, with the hosts already through to the round of 16. The Ukrainians however are still playing for a spot in the Europa League in spring. They will hope to maybe gather a point to gain a slight advantage over Ferencvaros.

The big-spending French outfit managed to win a key game against Leipzig last week. Yet they still need further results to make sure they are the ones to make it into the knockout stage. PSG are very likely to use Air X' Boeing 737-500 9H-YES for their trip to Manchester, after this airframe was spotted arriving at Paris LBG on Monday afternoon:

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:

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.

Real Madrid vs. CSKA Moscow

The long journey from Moscow to Spain means that CSKA will arrive in Madrid a couple of days before the game, once again using Aeroflot and one of their Airbus A320s for the trip:

SU7002 SVO xxxx-1320 MAD A320 (10/12/18)

SU7003 MAD 2300-xxxx SVO A320 (12/12/18)

AZ8950 FCO 1500-1650 PRG A320 (11/12/18)

Group H

BSC Young Boys vs. Juventus

The Swiss champions may be eliminated already, but they will look to gain at least one more point against a Juve that is still looking to win the group as it might want to avoid some bigger calibers in the knockout stages:

ST1080 TRN 1600-1720 BRN A319 (11/12/18)
ST1081 BRN 1030-1135 TRN A319 (13/12/18)

UEFA CL, GS MD3, 23 October 2018

Group E

AEK Athens vs. FC Bayern München

Despite wearing Qatar Airways sponsorship badges on their shirts these days, Bayern are still traveling with Lufthansa on their European journeys, using one of the company's Airbus A340-600s for the trip to Greece once more:

LH2570 MUC 1030-1350 ATH A346 (22/10/18)
LH2571 ATH 1205-1335 MUC A346 (24/10/18)

Ajax Amsterdam vs. SL Benfica

Privilege Style has a habit of carrying teams from Spain all across the continent, but their Portuguese neighbors are no strangers either to the use of the elegantly painted Boeing 757s:

PVG7995 LIS xxxx-1325 AMS B752 EC-HDS (22/10/18)
PVG7996 AMS 1200-xxxx LIS B752 EC-HDS (24/10/18)

Group F

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim vs. Olympique Lyonnais

Arrival airports seem to change in rotation for the visitors of the German club based right next to the A6 motorway in Sinsheim. This time Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden is the port of choice for Olympique Lyonnais, but who could have ruled out a trip within France for them, to either Strasbourg or Colmar-Houssen?

Group G

AS Roma vs. CSKA Moscow

The Russian army club has a sponsorship with Aeroflot that even includes a plane in the club's colours, so Aeroflot is the logic choice for CSKA's trip to the Italian capital, where they will face AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico:

SU7004 SVO 1000-1255 FCO A320 (21/10/18)
SU7005 FCO 0130-0600 SVO A320 (24/10/18)

Real Madrid vs. Viktoria Plzen

No great surprises when it comes to the amount of seats on offer for this away trip. Real Madrid may still be the biggest attraction in Champions League football, even if Cristiano Ronaldo has now left the club and moved to Turin. No less than three aircraft will carry Czech players, staff and supporters to Madrid:

OK6106 PRG xxxx-1225 MAD A319 (22/10/18)
QS4570 PRG xxxx-1355 MAD B738 (22/10/18)
QS4540 PRG xxxx-1100 MAD B738 (23/10/18)
QS4571 MAD 0145-xxxx PRG B738 (24/10/18)
QS4541 MAD 0155-xxxx PRG B738 (24/10/18)
OK6107 MAD 1100-xxxx PRG A319 (24/10/18)

Group H

Manchester United vs. Juventus Turin

It is yet another return to an old club for CR7, with Manchester United of course being the club where he first became really famous. His trip was far from certain though, after he conceded a red card in the first Champions League fixture against Valencia early this season.

BSC Young Boys vs. Valencia CF

Bern is always a tricky journey to plan, with the airport notorious for being pested by fog and because of very restrictive night flying regulations. Valencia is thus flying to nearby (100km) Basel, where aircraft movements are not quite as heavily restricted:
