Summary:

  • Benfica faces a comical delay at Figo Maduro Airport after returning from the Club World Cup

  • Airport exit barriers malfunction, opening one at a time and delaying the team's buses

  • The incident was resolved after a few minutes, allowing Benfica to continue their journey

  • A video captures the hilarious moment, showcasing the team's unexpected airport adventure

After their elimination from the Club World Cup against Chelsea in the round of 16, Benfica arrived at Figo Maduro Airport on Monday morning.

It was just past 7:30 AM when the two buses carrying the team headed for the airport exit, but their departure was anything but smooth.

In a bizarre turn of events, the airport exit barriers seemed to have a mind of their own, opening one at a time and forcing the vehicles carrying the Benfica entourage to wait for several minutes. Shortly after, with the issue resolved, Benfica was finally on its way.

Watch the hilarious moment in the associated video.
