Follow Spain Investment Immigration and Spain News: On December 24, Beijing time, the Bayern Munich midfield star did not board the chartered flight back to Germany with the team, but instead took a small private jet directly to Spain with his fitness coach. This detour nearly resulted in an air disaster!
As it turned out, according to the club's arrangements, the entire Bayern team held a small celebration in Morocco after winning the FIFA Club World Cup. Subsequently, most of the players took the Bayern chartered flight back to Germany to begin their wonderful holidays. Given that flying directly from Morocco to Spain is much more convenient than flying back to Germany and then returning to Spain, Martinez applied to the club to leave the team alone and fly directly to Spain, as he hoped to spend Christmas with his family.
Consequently, Martinez and the Spanish fitness coach Buenaventura boarded a small private jet flying directly to Spain... However, just 3 minutes after the plane took off from Marrakech Airport in Morocco, it encountered strong turbulence, and the fuselage began to shake violently. Even more terrifyingly, the cabin door was jolted open. Fortunately, the plane had not been off the ground for long, and there was no sudden drop in cabin pressure. However, this malfunction could not be resolved at high altitude, so the pilot chose to return immediately. Five minutes later, the plane carrying Martinez returned to Marrakech Airport, and there were no casualties on board.
Even after encountering such a situation, Martinez, eager to return home, did not join the rest of the Bayern team on the chartered flight. He and Buenaventura took the next available flight directly to Spain. German media specifically mentioned that this is not the first time a Bayern player has encountered such a situation. Uli Hoeneß, chairman of the Bayern supervisory board, was involved in an air disaster in 1982. At that time, he and three friends were traveling by helicopter from Munich to Hanover. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff, and everyone else on board died, while Hoeneß, who was sleeping in the back cabin, only suffered minor injuries.
