Camp Nou finally reopens as Barça return home on November 22 Barcelona confirmed they will face Athletic Bilbao at Camp Nou for the stadium’s long-awaited reopening after two years playing at Montjuic. The remodelled ground—costing €1.5bn and delayed by a year—will initially hold 45,401 fans, rising to 105,000 once the top tier is finished. Earlier in November, 23,000 supporters attended an open training session as part of the stadium testing. UEFA must still approve the venue for the December 9 Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt. Barça had to use their Johan Cruyff ground for two matches at the start of the season due to missing safety permits. The previous Camp Nou dated back to 1957 and seated 99,000. @sportsdirect_eng

🗣️ Francesco Totti: “Put Messi in Roma for 25 years and tell me, how many Ballon d’Or would he win?” Ten? Nope, none of them. Do you know why? Because the Ballon d'Or is not only about talent, but also about the team you play on and the titles you win. Cristiano Ronaldo, on the other hand, had he played those same 25 years in Rome, would have won more Ballon d'Or than he has today. Cristiano has shown that his success is from his ambition and his constant work.” @sportsdirect_eng

A win would send Portugal to the World Cup... ...they're losing 2-0 to Ireland 😬 @sportsdirect_eng
