Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe had to apologize after the team were late in Milan for their Champions League duties.
The Magpies take on the San Siro giants in the group stages of Europe's premier club competition.
However, Newcastle were late arriving in Milan due to weather issues, which caused them to be two hours late for their pre-match press conference.
Howe, speaking to reporters, said: "It's been a long day for us. An early start and a late finish.
"We have to be absolutely organized. It's part and parcel of the job we do. This was a weather problem but we've been in similar situations in the past."
"We are were sat on the runway for some time. As I say we are used to it. It is slightly later arrival than we would have liked but no big deal. It's nothing out of the ordinary for us. So apologies for being late."
