Barcelona will fly in and out of the country on Wednesday, but will the altitude in SA affect their performance? Goal speaks to Dr Bahdur here
With Barcelona set to play Mamelodi Sundowns in an international friendly on Wednesday night, the issue of altitude and how it would affect their performance has come to the fore.
The Spanish giants will arrive in South Africa on Wednesday morning, play the Brazilians in the evening and jet out of the country immediately after the game at the FNB Stadium. Kick-off is at 18h15 in Johannesburg.
Barca will have little or no time at all to acclimatize to the weather in South Africa, but whether or not that will affect their preparation for this game remains a big topic.
