In a bizarre prelude to their Champions League match against Bruges, AS Monaco players found themselves in a rather embarrassing situation.
Their flight from Nice turned into a sweltering sauna, thanks to a malfunctioning air conditioning system that left them sweating profusely.
As temperatures soared, players like Jordan Teze, Maghnes Akliouche, and Mika Biereth decided to take matters into their own hands – or rather, off their bodies.
Stripping down to their underwear on the tarmac, the scene resembled a low-cost garden party rather than a prestigious football outing.
The hilarious incident quickly made waves on social media, with fans dubbing it the ‘Air Sauna Monaco’ experience.
Videos of the players’ unexpected wardrobe choice circulated widely, showcasing the lighter side of football before a serious match.

While this might seem like a minor hiccup for a team accustomed to luxury, sweating it out before facing off in the prestigious Champions League can be quite the challenge.
