Juventus executives Damien Comolli and Giorgio Chiellini have managed to reach Norway for tonight’s UEFA Champions League clash against Bodø/Glimt — despite severe weather conditions that grounded all scheduled flights.

A heavy snowstorm sweeping across Norway made it impossible for the Italian delegation to arrive as planned. Their aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing this morning in Arvidsjaur, Sweden, around 360 kilometres away from the match venue.

Rather than abandon the trip, the two senior club officials opted to continue the journey by car, driving through harsh winter conditions to ensure they would be present for the crucial fixture.

The match Bodø/Glimt vs Juventus is scheduled to kick off tonight at 21:00 CET.
