FC Barcelona could qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League on Tuesday evening, but there is a problem…
Victory over Shakhtar Donetsk would put them nine points clear of the Ukrainian champions, third in Group H, with two games remaining, meaning they cannot be caught.
Due to the war in Ukraine, the match will take place in Hamburg, with Shakhtar being the “home” team. However, Barcelona may face difficulty traveling to the German city for the match as Hamburg’s only airport is currently closed due to an ongoing hostage situation.
As reported MD, a man is currently holding his four-year-old daughter hostage at the airport. The police are very present and the airport has therefore been closed for the moment. FC Barcelona are expected to fly to Hamburg on Monday, and if the situation continues until then, the club may be forced to change their plans.
Above all, the hope is that all parties involved in this situation reach an amicable solution, without there being any escalation. For now, the Barcelona authorities will remain attentive to the situation
