On Saturday, Barcelona will play the last match of 2024 against Atletico Madrid at the Estadi Olimpic. They had hoped to be back at Spotify Camp Nou at this stage, but due to unforeseen delays that has not yet been possible. They are expected to return in 2025, although the exact date is not yet known.
As such, a lot of uncertainty has arisen and the club has seemingly considered many different options. Earlier this week it was reported that Barcelona are considering playing Champions League knockout matches outside the Spotify Camp Nou (which may not be ready yet) and the Estadi Olimpic.
However, Sport has denied these claims, saying Barcelona will only play at the Estadi Olimpic or Spotify Camp Nou this season. The club is not considering any other options at this stage.
Barcelona's hope is to return to Spotify Camp Nou in March, although this could be ambitious. There is no doubt that the situation is unsettling club officials as they eagerly await their return home.
