Barcelona received approval to reopen part of the Gol Nord stand, expanding Camp Nou capacity from 45,000 to 62,000 supporters.
See you on Tuesday at Camp Nou, it could be a magical night. Fresh from a standout performance against Villarreal, the teenager sent a message through the club's official social media accounts, holding the match ball after his hat trick.
It's indescribable, what I'm feeling is incredible. I was talking about it with my teammates, it's spectacular. It's a dream come true. It's hard to get on the pitch because the score has to be comfortable. When they scored the third, Flick called me over and I didn't even have time to think. My day has arrived.
Yet just days before the stadium reopens its doors, the first controversy surrounding the match has surfaced. Before diving into the explanation, the situation needs context. The Camp Nou remains under active construction, operating under temporary safety permissions while work continues across several areas of the ground. Because of this, Barcelona insist they are unable to guarantee the conditions required by law to host supporters from the opposing team.
