UEFA hand Barcelona a timely boost | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona have this week been afforded some altogether news, by way of UEFA.

That’s according to RAC1, who point towards as much as coming with regards to the Spotify Camp Nou.

With the new Spanish season now officially underway, construction works at the Camp Nou have been kicked up a notch over recent weeks.

This comes amid hopes of the stadium being available for use for Barcelona’s home meeting with Valencia on September 14th.

As much has not yet been made official, but Joan Laporta and co. are pushing hard for the renovations to be completed within the next couple of weeks.

As allued to above, though, should this not prove the case, and Barca also not be in a position to host Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League home opener, UEFA are ready to afford the Blaugrana a helping hand.

As per a report from RAC1:

‘UEFA grants permission to Barça to return to the Camp Nou in the middle of the group stage, in case they don’t make it in time to play the first match against PSG. In theory, they don’t allow it, but they considers Barça’s situation a case of force majeure.’
