Barcelona fans are impatient with the return to Spotify Camp Nou. The new Barça temple, according to the latest news on the matter, won't open its doors until the end of the season. There's no doubt that the cold of Montjuïc is not comparable to the boiling casserole of Camp Nou.
In fact, the main topic of the board meeting held on Tuesday was the state of the works of the new Spotify Camp Nou. The board of directors has been changing the date of return and it is still uncertain when it will be ready.
Solving this is a matter of vital importance. April 23 marks the deadline agreed with the city hall of Barcelona to play at the Lluís Companys stadium. By then, the facilities must be available for scheduled concerts and other events.
The stadiums considered as alternatives
In recent days, there has been much speculation about which stadium could be Barça's until they can safely return to the new Spotify Camp Nou. Montilivi has been mentioned, among others, due to its proximity, as well as the RCDE Stadium.
There are other options available. The Olympique Lyon's field (Groupama Stadium) has been considered because it wouldn't require a significant displacement for either team. There are also those who think of taking the classic to Arabia, due to the great economic benefit it would bring.
Laporta's intentions are clear
Laporta believes that such a match should be played in a place that belongs to the club, so that the fans can row in the same direction as the team. According to SPORT, if it can't be played in Arabia, the president would prefer the Johan Cruyff option.
His second favorite option would be Montilivi, Girona's stadium. However, it is a utopia because Girona plays at home on that same LaLiga matchday. There is still a long way to go until May 11, the day the Clásico will take place.
Meanwhile, it is better to be prepared to ensure that Barça feels comfortable in a crucial match in their fight for the league.
