The UEFA Champions League Group D fixture between Juventus FC and Bayer 04 Leverkusen, scheduled to be played at the Delle Alpi stadium in Turin on Wednesday, was postponed due to adverse weather conditions in the Italian city.
Dense fog
The game had been due to kick off at 20.45CET, but dense fog descended on the stadium prior to kick off and forced the match to be postponed. The decision was taken by Swiss referee Urs Meier in conjunction with the UEFA delegate at the match, Dusko Grabovac, and was fully supported by the two clubs.
'Impossible to see'
"The simple reason for calling the match off," explained Meier, "was that it was impossible to see from goal to goal."
New date
It was agreed to play the fixture next Wednesday, 28 November, at 20.45CET, after the two clubs had consulted their respective national associations and had received assurance that their national cup games scheduled to be played on that date could be rearranged.
Lippi considers positive
"We accept the decision but I would prefer to play," Juventus coach Marcelo Lippi said. "Not playing tonight means, however, that we will be fresher for the next match against [S.S.] Lazio that we are playing on Saturday
