- Athletic Club will receive no away allocation for Saturday’s match because current access routes and sectorisation cannot guarantee the required separation for visiting fans.
- UEFA has not yet confirmed whether the Dec. 9 Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt can be played at Spotify Camp Nou.
- Ticket pricing for the reopening has drawn backlash, with reports citing the cheapest seats at €199 and some reaching €589.
- An open training session earlier this month brought roughly 23,000 supporters as a test event, and Lamine Yamal’s recent radiofrequency procedure prompted his release from Spain duty, leaving his availability uncertain.
