Doh! Javi Martinez was left behind at the Nou Camp (Picture: Getty)

Bayern Munich were so keen to kick-start their celebrations after beating Barcelona and making the Champions League final that they left behind midfielder Javi Martinez.

The enforcer was reportedly busy saying his goodbyes to Spain team-mates in the Barca ranks after the full-time whistle, but Bayern were in no mood to hang around after their 7-0 aggregate win.

Jupp Heynckes’ men promptly loaded up their coach and set off for their hotel after cruising into the European Cup final for the second year in a row.

But for Martinez, he returned to the dressing room to find everybody gone – and needed a cab to join up with the rest of his team.

Like the Queen, seemingly professional footballers don’t carry money on them either – and Bayern officials had to sort out payment for the taxi on behalf of the midfielder.

Martinez was eventually reunited with his team-mates later that evening, but no doubt Barcelona wouldn’t have minded picking up the 24-year-old as lost property.

Barcelona are said to have failed with a bid for the player before he joined Bayern from Athletic Bilbao in a £33million deal last summer.
