SK Slavia Praha : FC Kopenhagen

After being very lazy about hopping this year, they wanted to finish the year with a three-country trip. The first stop was Prague, where the SK Slavia Prague met in the Europa League with the FC Copenhagen. After the work was done, we set off early in the evening in the direction of the Czech Republic. The traffic meant it well with us and so one came briskly ahead. That changed but then 2 kilometers before the finish.

Because one had booked as quarters the hotel Slavia at the training area of the stadium, one had to go in the evening traffic directly to the stadium, where also already the numerous fans arrived. Thus one came only in the step tempo forwards. However, there was enough time margin available and so one made it actually still in time to the stadium.

After one misinterpreted a sign, we crept on somewhat impassable terrain around the stadium before one noticed the error. Unfortunately, the police did not let us return the same way, and so we had to take the further way around the stadium. At the entrance there was then service by the book and everyone was thoroughly checked. As the kickoff got closer and closer, the audience got a little impatient and in the end the spectators were waved through. Nevertheless, one did not make it in time for kickoff - since one could take the few minutes for the purchase of a Czech beer delicacy also still in purchase.

The game itself was then rather meager fare. Over 90 minutes a rather tepid affair. Prague wanted, but could not. And Copenhagen apparently did not want at first. So the choregraphy on the Czech side and the Bengalo-Zünden on the Danish side was the most interesting this evening.

In the end it came as it had to come and the game ended with an absolutely justified zero number. Footballerisch although not a treat, but at least you could now in the Eden Arena but still look at a game. A few years ago one was namely already once here, could then look at the game but only in the stadium pub on TV, because because of past spectator riots a ghost game was decreed ;-)
