He Barcelona He has found the solution to his problems in case Camp Nou is not ready on time. Once again, he has resorted to Barcelona City Councilcommanded by the socialist Jaume Collboni. The club has reached an agreement with the municipal company that manages the Olympic Stadium to continue in Montjuic until February. In this way, the Champions League League phase claims to play there, in case of receiving the UEFA refusal to play in its stadium the first four games at home of the edition that is about to begin.
The entity that directs Joan Laporta Look for solutions to the more than probable delay of the return to Camp Nou. It seems complicated that they can return on the stipulated date to their stadium. Even more when the rains have exposed the safety problems in the accesses and vomitations of the stadium. In addition, there are deficiencies in the areas of Tribuna and Gol Sud, which are supposed to be the first to be ready.
The club expects to return as soon as possible, with a capacity reduced to 27,000 spectators, to Camp Nou. However, they still do not have the final work certificate that they need to receive the first occupation permit, which is responsible for issuing the city's town hall. As if that were not enough, UEFA forces the side to be busy, something that in the first phase of that return to the stadium will not be possible. Therefore, it seems unlikely that they can play the first phase of Champions in their stadium.
The UEFA prevents you from changing stadium in the same round. That is, the Barcelona You cannot start the league phase in one stadium and finish it in another. So if the Camp Nou is not in a position to host the first match, the other three that play as a local in the league phase cannot be played in it either.
In this way, the Barça He has sought the most logical alternative. As he points out Sports Worldthe club already has an agreement with Barcelona of Municipal Servicespublic company that manages Montjuic, to be able to play there until February 25. In this way, I could play the entire Champions League phase there and, also, in the League.
However, that agreement does not include day 4 of the League, which will be held on September 14. The reason is none other than a concert that is scheduled at the stadium for September 12. This would prevent the Barcelona-Valencia It can be played at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium, so in case of not receiving the approval of the League to play with public at the Camp Nou, they should play it behind closed doors or in another scenario, with the Montilivi of Gerona as a more likely option.
For the parties of Liga The fact that Camp Nou It is not in a position to host matches as soon as possible. Once they have the license to return, they could play in it, regardless of where they have played before. The problems came facing the Champions League phase, but in case they cannot play in their stadium, they already have the alternative until February, which is when the round ends.
