The Spotify Camp Nou reopens 909 days after the last match, with Barcelona facing Athletic Club. Hansi Flick expressed strong emotion and excitement at coaching Barça at the renovated stadium. Flick named a starting lineup that contained surprises, including the returns of Joan Garcia and Raphinha and the absences of Pedri, Frenkie de Jong and Marcus Rashford. Raphinha was left on the bench but is expected to play around 20 minutes. Eric Garcia was started as a defensive midfielder due to Pedri's injury and De Jong's suspension. Flick warned Barcelona must be at their best and urged supporters to be present despite the 45,000 limited capacity.
