The upcoming Club World Cup semifinal between Real Madrid and PSG nearly turned into a scandal.
Details: Yesterday, Real Madrid set off for Newark, where they are set to face French giants PSG for a spot in the club world championship final. However, midway through the flight, a powerful storm hit the city, making it impossible for the plane to land.
The pilots made a crucial decision—to remain airborne until the storm passed, fortunately having enough fuel to safely circle the area.
After two tense hours circling above the city, the aircraft carrying the Real Madrid squad finally landed at New Jersey airport, allowing the entire football community to breathe a sigh of relief.
Reminder: Real has asked La Liga to reschedule their opening league match. What's behind this request?
