Real Madrid fans were left bemused after first seeing the plane that would take them to London ahead of tonight’s Champions League final.
Los Blancos supporters are expectant that their side will win a record-extending 15th Champions League trophy this evening.
Fans have arrived into London in their thousands ahead of tonight’s game where they are massive favourites to prevail over Borussia Dortmund – who only finished fifth in the Bundesliga this season.
However, some fans were caught off guard when they arrived at the airport to see their Vueling plane – which might have made some feel that a prank was being played on them.
On the bus to the plane, they discovered that it was fully decorated in the colours of their arch rivals Barcelona.

All seats were branded with the Barcelona logo, while players of the Women’s team were pictured on the outside of the aircraft
Players of Barcelona’s Women’s Team were pictured on the side of the aircraft.
The reason for the branding is that the airline is a sponsor of the Catalan giants.
Some Real Madrid fans might have seen this as a bad omen, though others could point out that Barcelona are the reigning champions of the Women’s Champions League.
Real Madrid will be hoping to win the men’s edition this evening, and their record in finals is almost perfect, with only one defeat in the European Cup final to Liverpool back in 1981.
Fans meanwhile have been getting to the stadium early to take in the atmosphere at Wembley in the hours before kick-off.
