The "Barcelona" team is struggling to resolve its home stadium issue.

Marca writes that the Catalans are likely to be forced to play a La Liga match against the Valencia club in the "Johan Cruyff" arena, which has only 6 thousand seats.

This has happened because some formalities related to the reconstruction of Camp Nou will not be completed by the mid-September meeting, and the stadium will not be able to open at least some of its stands.

Meanwhile, a concert will take place at the Olympic Stadium in Barcelona on those days.

Additionally, this week "Barca" has to inform UEFA where the team plans to play its Champions League home matches. The situation is very slippery – the Catalans may also be forced to choose the Olympic Stadium.
