Barcelona Return to Camp Nou for First Competitive Game in 2½ Years Against Athletic Bilbao

A win would send Barcelona top on goal difference.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Saturday at 4:15 p.m. local time (15:15 GMT) at a partially reopened Camp Nou.
  • Attendance is capped at 45,401 with no away supporters because segregation works are unfinished.
  • The €1.5 billion rebuild is ongoing and the stadium is planned to expand toward roughly 105,000 seats once complete.
  • For Barcelona, Lamine Yamal is available after a groin procedure, Marc-André ter Stegen and Pedri remain out, Frenkie de Jong is suspended, and Marcus Rashford is a doubt.
  • Athletic travel with multiple injuries and Yeray Álvarez serving a 10‑month ban, with Nico Williams expected to feature after scoring in last weekend’s 1-0 win over Real Oviedo.
