Barcelona Adjust Travel Plans Ahead of Newcastle CL Clash

March 4, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Barcelona have changed their travel plans, opting for a direct flight from Bilbao to Newcastle after their Athletic Club match. The move aims to give players maximum rest before the Champions League round‑of‑16 first leg.

Barcelona have switched to a direct flight from Bilbao to Newcastle after their Athletic Club match, bypassing a connecting flight to maximise player rest before the Champions League round‑of‑16 first leg. The team will stay at Maften Hall Hotel in Newcastle, train at St. James’ Park on Monday, and hold a press conference with Hansi Flick.

Barcelona sit four points clear at the top of La Liga and must win against Athletic Club to maintain their lead. They previously beat Newcastle 2‑1 in the opening Champions League round‑of‑16 match this season.
