FC Barcelona is in a complicated situation. As La Liga resumes next weekend, alongside Ligue 1, the Catalans are still unable to register their new signings. And if there are not several sales by then, newcomers will not be able to take part in this duel on the lawn of Getafe, Sunday August 13. A huge headache for the band of Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany. And it’s not the only…
As explained Report, there are problems with the stadium. Not with the Camp Nou, but with the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona, where Xavi’s men will play this season, while the Camp Nou is undergoing renovations. Information from the Spanish media explains that the stadium located on the hill of Montjuïc is clearly not ready for the resumption of the season.
The stadium is absolutely not ready
If the Catalans do not welcome anyone to La Liga before August 20 and the reception of Cadiz – which leaves a little time – there is the Gamper Trophy against Tottenham next Tuesday, in just five days. The outlet reports that hundreds of staff are working hard to keep the stadium, which was not in use, in good condition. But the newspaper describes for now “absolute chaos”. Employees also confided that they were not on time at all to the media.
Barça says they are quite confident, but everything indicates that for this match against Spurs and possibly for this first La Liga match, FC Barcelona will play in a stadium that will look funny, under construction. Work that costs around 6 million euros, of which a little more than half is paid for by the club, the other by the town hall of Barcelona. The stadium should be able to accommodate 55,000 spectators for each FC Barcelona home game this season.
