According to the plan, at 4 pm (local time), Real Madrid will move from West Palm Beach International Airport to LaGuardia (New York). However, when the whole team was ready to board the plane, an unexpected announcement came and forced the "White Vulture" to delay 60 minutes. Not stopping there, when the plane spent nearly 2 hours traveling, to LaGuardia Real Madrid still could not land and had to circle in the air many times.
Spanish newspaper AS reported that the incident was caused by a storm in Palm Beach, which delayed Real Madrid's flight to New York. "Because many planes were lined up in the sky because of the storm, which delayed the flight, Real Madrid had no choice but to ask FIFA to postpone all their activities. Madrid's flight is circling over Washington waiting for permission to land," AS updated.

For now, the incident has forced Real Madrid to postpone the training session before the semi-final match with PSG - which took place at 2am on July 10 (Vietnam time). In addition, "Los Blancos" are also asking FIFA to cancel the press conference of coach Alonso and 3 players Valverde, Courtois and Jacobo. Notably, during the tournament, this is the second time Real Madrid has faced an incident due to the weather. Previously, when meeting Juventus in the round of 16, Real Madrid also experienced the same thing. Fortunately, the weather was mild at that time, and the whole team was still able to move normally.
