“We’ve dreamed about the return. Now, it’s here. We’re back home. Back at Spotify Camp Nou.”

The stadium will not be at full capacity with 45,401 fans can be present as per the current authorization. After final construction, the Camp Nou is due to hold over 104,000 attendees, up from the previous 99,000.
