Barcelona Stranded in Seville Following La Liga Victory

Barcelona were forced to remain in Seville following their 5-2 victory over Real Betis on matchday nine of La Liga, the club's press service confirmed. The delay was caused by a severe storm in Barcelona, which prevented the team from returning home as originally scheduled.

As a result, the squad spent the night in Seville. Barcelona are scheduled to travel to Paris on October 19, where they will face PSG the following day in the third round of the Champions League. After nine games, the Catalans sit atop the Spanish league table with 27 points, five ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid.
