November 22 will serve as a momentous day for Barcelona supporters globally, as the team, led by coach Hansi Flick, prepares to re-enter the agora of the Spotify Camp Nou following its renovations. Their last match at this iconic stadium took place in May 2023, culminating in a 3-0 victory over Mallorca. Since then, the team has been competing at the Estadio Olimpico Lluís Companys, owing to construction efforts.
Lamine Yamal, the Spanish prodigy, will also make a return to the Camp Nou, a stage where he debuted for the club. On April 29, 2023, Yamal entered the professional realm at the tender age of 15 years, 9 months, and 16 days, setting a record as the youngest player to don the Barcelona jersey in the 21st century, as well as the youngest to play in LaLiga history.
The Catalan side has also rolled out a unique schedule for Saturday, featuring a ‘special honorary kickoff’ that has piqued fan interest, kept under wraps until now.
Saturday is going to be a very exciting day 🥺🏟️💙❤️
