Heavy Fog Delays Barcelona’s Paris Flight Before PSG Champions League Tie
Barcelona’s flight to Paris was delayed on Monday after dense fog in Spain made take-off conditions unsafe ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League meeting with PSG.
Barcelona travel disruption
| Item | Detail | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Paris flight | Delayed on Monday by heavy fog | Barcelona’s planned midday arrival was affected |
| PSG match | Tuesday night in Paris | Final Champions League preparations must be adjusted |
| Previous issue | Saturday night in Seville | Squad returned to Barcelona on Sunday morning |
The Spanish side had intended to reach the French capital around midday, giving the coaching staff time to follow their usual final-match itinerary. Instead, the players were held up while waiting for conditions to improve.
Barcelona now need to reshape their plans after landing in France. Media commitments and the last stadium session could be moved as the club works to protect rest and recovery before the European tie.
It is the second weather-related travel problem for the squad in only a few days. After Saturday’s 5-2 La Liga win over Real Betis, poor conditions in Andalusia prevented Barcelona from flying out of Seville that evening.
The team had to stay overnight and did not make it back to Barcelona until Sunday morning, leaving medical and coaching staff with an added workload as they manage fatigue.
What happens next: Barcelona will look to complete their journey to Paris and restore their pre-match routine as quickly as possible. Their focus remains on taking a significant Champions League result against PSG.
