Things don’t always go according to plan on away trips – Spanish La Liga club Las Palmas became aware of that on Saturday. When the plane took off from Gran Canaria to the mainland for the away game against Sevilla, more than half of the football professionals were not on the plane. But what had happened?
As the club confirms, 15 players and two physiotherapists missed the originally planned scheduled flight. As journalists on site report, the 17 delegation members wanted to get a coffee before departure. However, they couldn’t find their way back in time and the plane took off. “Tenerife News” commented on the breakdown as follows: “As first division teams, the footballers from Gran Canaria’s capital are currently the highest-ranking representatives of the Canary Islands in Spanish football. But they are currently doing the archipelago little credit.”
The club then had to organize a charter flight to bring the footballers to Seville. The Vice President, who actually didn’t want to arrive until Sunday, decided to also travel by charter so that nothing would go wrong this time. All actors have now arrived in Seville. Player Munir said afterwards: “It wasn’t because of the coffee. The plane was delayed and we weren’t told we were boarding.”
