Barcelona confirm Champions League clash with Olympiacos will be played at Montjuic

Barcelona have confirmed that their next Champions League game against Olympiacos will be played at Montjuic and not Camp Nou.

The Catalans are still waiting to return to their famous old stadium but are yet to receive the green light from the city council amid security issues.

Barcelona played their opening home Champions League match of the season against PSG at Montjuic on Wednesday and will be back again in a few weeks.

“FC Barcelona announces that the third match corresponding to the Champions League group stage, on Tuesday, October 21, at 6:45 p.m., against Olympiacos, will be played at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium,” read a club statement.

“The club continues to work to obtain the necessary administrative permits for the opening of the Spotify Camp Nou in the coming dates. Within this framework, FC Barcelona is working on the new amendments that Barcelona City Council shared with the club last week.

“FC Barcelona would like to thank its members and supporters for their understanding and support in such a complex and exciting process as the return to the new Spotify Camp Nou.”

It’s not an ideal situation for Barcelona as they continue to wait to return home. The atmosphere at Montjuic has also come under scrutiny, particularly against PSG on Wednesday night.
