Hey, Monaco, the heat is on! Oh, we've known it since the flight

Next to the duels of Man City and Napoli, as well as Newcastle and Barcelona, the clash between Club Brugge and Monaco won't be the most interesting part of tonight's UEFA Champions League schedule. However, it undoubtedly had the most entertaining introduction.

The best way to start UCL title defence? Show no mercy at all

Namely, Monaco's plane to Bruges was grounded due to an air-conditioning problem, so the entire Ligue 1 side's expedition had to transfer to another plane. However, while they were waiting to disembark from the broken aircraft, the temperature got so high that they had to resort to desperate measures and strip down to their underwear!

In the end, the new plane arrived, and the French team got off the plane almost naked! Most importantly, they made it safely to Belgium and are ready for tonight's clash (19.45). However, this is the trip they'll probably remember for the rest of their lives.

So, ahead of the match at Jan Breydel Stadion, the heat is on. Literally!
