The situation took on comic accents when the two clubs presented the official game sheets.

Just a day before, Zeljko Kopic had announced in the conference that Pop would not be available, because he had scheduled his wedding in Cluj-Napoca several months ago.

But total stupor! Alexandru Pop's name officially appeared on Dinamo's reserve list for the derby!

How was it possible for a footballer to be theoretically ready to take to the pitch against FCSB, but in reality be hundreds of kilometers away? The original plan, a true sci-fi one, was unveiled by the club's executive president, Andrei Nicolescu, before the starting whistle.

The Dynamo officials had set up an incredible strategy: the striker had to come to Bucharest on a scheduled flight to be on the bench for the match, then immediately after the final whistle he would be sent back to Cluj on a private flight (charter) to catch the party! In the end, the crazy plan failed, after the footballer would have missed the plane!

Staying in Cluj, Alex Pop spent until dawn with the one of his heart. Images from the spectacular event quickly flooded social media.

The atmosphere at the party was maintained by the well-known performer Georgiana Lobonț: “This is a royal wedding / Long live our bride and groom! / This is a five-star wedding / For the sake of my heart, put up the napkins!”.

  • Alexandru Pop played 40 matches this season for Dinamo, during which he scored 5 goals and provided 2 decisive assists. It is quoted by the specialized website Transfermarkt at 800,000 euros.

  • In his absence, Zeljko Kopic had to start central midfielder Georgi Milanov in the top position in the match against FCSB.
