Barcelona face race against time to play Osasuna
Barcelona are travelling by train and coach to play Osasuna after the league leaders thought that the game had been rescheduled for Sunday due to a strike.
Spanish air traffic controllers walked out and grounded flights, but Osasuna said the Spanish Football Federation had not moved the game to Sunday.
Barcelona left the Catalan city at 1400 GMT by high-speed train to Zaragoza.
Pep Guardiola's team then take a coach for the last part of the trip, arriving just before the 1900 GMT kick off.
"Osasuna understands there is nothing that could justify the change of the day and time set for the match, according to current regulations," said an Osasuna statement.
Valencia and Atletico Madrid gave themselves more time for their respective games on Saturday.
Valencia travelled by coach to the Spanish capital on Friday to play Real Madrid, while Atletico Madrid used the same mode of transport in order to play Valencia-based Levante.
Atletico Madrid slumped to a 2-0 defeat at promoted Levante, making it three defeats in a week for the misfiring Europa League holders.
Last season Liverpool negotiated a 1200-mile journey by train, coach and plane for a Europa League semi-final as a result of the volcanic ash cloud.
