"The good news is Raphinha is back,"
"I appreciate a lot what he can give the team. We will see tomorrow if 10, 15, 20 minutes, we will see. But he's back and it's a big step for him to come back and be on the bench tomorrow."
"I went up the stairs and reached the pitch, and it was an unbelievable feeling. All the fans are around. As you said, it's a football stadium and this is what we like. Of course, we are happy."
"Rashford has a fever and missed both yesterday and today," said Flick. "I'm not sure he'll be able to make it tomorrow."
Joan García will start against Athletic Club and Raphinha will begin the match on the bench after recovering from leg injuries that sidelined both players for almost two months. García and Raphinha return in time for Barcelona's first home game at Camp Nou since May 2023 following major renovations. Camp Nou reopens partially with 45,401 seats, about half its previous capacity, with a final capacity planned at 105,000. The team played home matches at the city's 55,000-seat Olympic Stadium during renovations. Marcus Rashford is a doubt after missing training with a fever. Lamine Yamal is available after a groin procedure, and the club defended its handling amid criticism from the Spain federation.
