FC Barcelona: flooding at Camp Nou during the match against Oviedo | OneFootball

FC Barcelone

Yesterday, as FC Barcelona hosted Real Oviedo, Camp Nou was overtaken by floodwaters.

On Sunday, Camp Nou experienced a surreal evening during the match between Barça and Oviedo. While the Blaugrana were finally returning home after a run of eight away games, a sudden downpour in the second half caused real flooding inside the stadium.

Indeed, the stands—still partially under construction and uncovered—quickly let the water pour in, especially affecting the renovated areas and the presidential box, where Joan Laporta ended up completely soaked. Journalists had to protect their equipment, while many fans left the stadium before the final whistle.

A stark reminder of the stadium's vulnerability, despite its prestige and ongoing renovations, and a clear illustration of the logistical challenges that still lie ahead for the Camp Nou project.
