Barcelona now dealing with new issues regarding Camp Nou return

According to a report from AS, Barcelona have been unofficially informed by the City Council that their match against Real Sociedad later this month cannot be played at Montjuic.

The reason is tied to the La Merce festivities, where a fireworks show is scheduled at 10 pm around the Montjuic fountain area.

Since Barça’s game was set to kick off at 9 pm, the event would make it impossible for fans to access or leave the stadium.

A race against time
This latest development means Barcelona are once again in a race against time, as their only chance to reopen the new Camp Nou this month is against Real Sociedad.

But even that remains uncertain. Elena Fort, the club’s vice president of the social area, has already admitted that nobody can promise the stadium will be ready by then.
