Real Madrid faced travel delays ahead of their Club World Cup semifinal clash against PSG in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
The Spanish club’s flight was delayed by an hour due to stormy weather, causing a late departure from Miami, Idman.biz reports.
Upon arrival at Newark Airport, their plane had to circle for another hour in Virginia airspace due to runway congestion.
