Hansi Flick’s Barcelona team makes return to Spotify Camp Nou vs. Athletic Club with healthy Lamine Yamal

November 22 will be a historic day for all the Barcelona fans around the world as the team coached by Hansi Flick will make their return to the Spotify Camp Nou for the first time since May 2023, when they won 3-0 against Mallorca. Since then, the Blaugrana played at the Estadio Olimpico Lluís Companys as the historical arena was undergoing a full reconstruction. Spanish star Lamine Yamal will also be back at the Camp Nou, as he managed to play his debut game with Barcelona at the old stadium.
