Lamine Yamal: “Montjuic was the beginning, Camp Nou is where history will be written” | OneFootball

Barcelona superstar Lamine Yamal is counting the days until he can play again at the Spotify Camp Nou.

Last Saturday, he shared his excitement online with a photo of the renovated stadium and the line “Special nights are coming”. Now he has gone a step further.

Following the announcement of the imminent reopening of the iconic stadium, he changed his Instagram profile picture to one of himself pointing at the Barça badge and added another message that shows how ambitious he is about what comes next.

“Montjuic was the beginning. The Camp Nou is where history will be written,” Lamine wrote, making it clear how much he wants to shine at the stadium that defines the club.

Barcelona will return to the renovated Spotify Camp Nou this Saturday, after more than 900 days away from their home turf.

The La Liga game against Athletic Club, on 22 November, will mark the Catalans’ return to the historic venue, with a capacity of 45,000+ fans.

There are several stars in the current Barcelona squad who have never played a game at Camp Nou.

However, it is worth remembering that Lamine has played at Camp Nou only once. That was on April 29, 2023, the day he made his first team debut, coming on for the final seven minutes of Barça’s 4-0 win against Real Betis, under Xavi Hernandez.

Now, he will return to the arena as a global star, despite being 18 years old, and he is ready to make his own mark at the new Camp Nou.
