Camp Nou: Barça makes its grand return

Barcelona: 3 years later, Camp Nou reopens its doors

After nearly three years in exile, FC Barcelona has finally returned to its Camp Nou. A public training session marked this historic comeback, with more than 21,000 fans turning out to rediscover their stadium, still under renovation. It was an emotionally charged scene for both the supporters and the players, who set foot once again on this legendary pitch after 894 days away.

President Joan Laporta made no attempt to hide his feelings, admitting he shed a few tears. "I cried," he revealed, describing it as a genuine "back to the future" moment, filled with family memories and immense pride. While the license to host 45,000 spectators has yet to be approved, the Catalan club plans a partial reopening of the stadium for the matches against Bilbao and Alavés on November 22 and 29.
