An Air traffic control strike taking place in France has altered flight times across all Europe, affecting people and football teams alike.
AC Milan who were meant to have taken off at 14:30 (13:30 UK time) are now going to fly out just before 6pm after having their flight delayed several times. This means that they will not arrive in Barcelona until 19:30 local time.
As soon as they get to El Prat airport, the Italians will make their way straight to the Nou Camp, where Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri will speak at the press conference at roughly 8 in the evening, and the players will start their training session 20:30.
This air strike has already affected FC Barcelona's plans, as they have seen how both Guardiola's press conference, and the training session have been put forward 15 minutes, the press conference will now be at 18:00 and the training session one and a half hours later.
On the night before such a crucial game, could outside factors play a big part in the result? Allegri has said earlier today that he is no doubt that his team will "play against the best Barcelona yet". If they get to Spain at such a late time with such a big game ahead no doubt they will have it the hardest tomorrow.
