"The flight prices quickly became astronomically high, explains Rudi Grabmeier. Eight or nine hundred euros - virtually unaffordable for most members of the 'Red Bulls Taubenbach'. So the fan club president picked up the phone, contacted other fan clubs, weighed up his options, did the maths, and took a risk."
"Ultimately, he chartered his own plane to fly him and his friends from Munich to Madrid for the first leg of the quarter-final. That allowed us to offer seats on the plane for just 475 euros, reveals Grabmeier."
"It's always a lot of work, a lot of risk, a lot of responsibility. But this time, says Grabmeier, the opponent was perhaps the greatest there is. The Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid is almost like a final in itself."
"A spontaneous and slightly crazy idea turned into a project that, in the end, as Grabmeier says, was really awesome again."
