Newcastle violates UEFA rules before AC Milan matchup
The Magpies team left Newcastle for their journey to northern Italy, arriving two hours and twenty minutes late.
Teams are required by UEFA regulations to schedule their pre-game news conferences on the day before the game. This is between 12 and 8 p.m. local time.
Eddie Howe, the manager of Newcastle, stated that the inclement weather was the cause of the team’s late arrival at the San Siro. This is after they had eventually made it there.
Howe stated that they had been waiting on the runway for close to two hours before they finally took off.
The press conference in Newcastle didn’t start until 9 o’clock at night. It was two hours after it was originally planned to begin. Transfer News: Al Ahli signs Julian Draxler On Permanent deal from PSG
