Cristiano Ronaldo and the United colleagues.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his United colleagues are staying in the budget hotel before the Champions League kick-off in Bern. That's behind it.
The stars of the Red Devils will play the first Champions League game of the season on Tuesday evening (from 6.45 p.m. live in our ticker) in Wankdorf against Young Boys Bern. The Manchester United team arrived at Bern-Belp Airport shortly after 2.15 p.m. on Monday and made their way straight to the hotel.
And now it comes: No, the stars around Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Pogba or Bruno Fernandes don't stay in a luxury hotel – they stay in a budget hotel. When United last competed against YB in the premier class three years ago, the star ensemble stayed at the Schweizerhof, now at the Prizeotel Bern-City. That probably also has to do with the pandemic.
Because: It looks like the Manchester United entourage has booked the entire hotel – you can get a room in the Prizeotel Bern-City from CHF 120. The rooms are around 18 square meters. Not a single room is available for Monday and Tuesday nights.
So the stars are among themselves and do not have to worry about other hotel guests, which on the one hand could cause unrest in the structure, but on the other hand also complications due to the corona virus.
A dozen fans have gathered in front of the hotel and are hoping to snap a photo of Ronaldo. So far, the stars have been shielded, the supporters have to be patient.
