Overview
- Spanish media report that heavy rain and thunderstorms around Barcelona-El Prat prevented the team’s private flight from landing, leaving players to remain in Seville overnight and with some reported still aboard the aircraft around 1 a.m.
- Barcelona had won 5-2 at Real Betis before the delay, extending their perfect LaLiga run to nine wins and featuring goals from Lamine Yamal, Rodri, Gabriel Jesus, Eric García and Dani Olmo.
- Coaching staff are reassessing the schedule because the planned light session the day after a match may need to be moved or reformatted depending on when the squad lands in Barcelona and travels on to Paris.
- The club also faces medical follow-up after the match, with Eric García set for an MRI to check a right-thigh quadriceps issue while Jules Koundé and Gerard Piqué Martin picked up less worrying knocks during the game.
- Reports are developing and rely on Spanish outlets cited by international press, so there is no official confirmation of changes to the PSG fixture but the compressed timetable could force tactical or rotation choices for the trip to Paris.
