"Barcelona make their long-awaited return to the Greatest Stadium on Earth this weekend as the Catalans welcome historic rivals Athletic Club for the first La Liga match at the Spotify Camp Nou in 909 days. We have all waited a very long time for this, and it's finally here. It'll be a few years before the stadium's renovation is fully complete, but 45,000 fans will enter Barça's iconic stadium"
"Kounde's return will move Eric Garcia back to his favorite position at center-back, most likely alongside Pau Cubarsí with Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen on the bench for this one. Alejandro Balde has had a disappointing season so far, but will likely keep his place as Flick continues to show confidence in the left-back. Frenkie de Jong's suspension and Pedri's absence due to injury have left the midfield extremely thin,"
Barcelona return to the Spotify Camp Nou for their first La Liga match there in 909 days, with 45,000 fans attending while stadium renovation continues. Joan Garcia has recovered from knee surgery and is expected to reclaim the starting goalkeeper role. Jules Kounde is fit to resume at right-back, which will push Eric Garcia into central defense alongside Pau Cubarsí, with Ronald Araujo and Andreas Christensen on the bench. Alejandro Balde is likely to keep his left-back spot despite a disappointing season so far. Midfield remains thin after Frenkie de Jong's suspension and Pedri's injury, but Marc Casadó has recovered from a minor groin issue and should start alongside Dani Olmo and Fermín López.
