The field where Messi rose to greatness is now a ruin, and Barcelona's stadium is being demolished
The field of Barcelona's home, Camp Nou, is being demolished. Lionel Messi has risen to greatness on the field of the Spanish club, and many supporters are disappointed upon seeing the pictures from there. However, it has been announced that the field will be reconstructed anew. A new stadium will be built by March 2026. Until then, Barcelona will play at Montjuïc.
Pictures of the demolition of Camp Nou have been widely circulated on social media. It is evident that various parts of the stadium are being torn down. The familiar grounds of Barcelona are now unrecognizable. The club has stated, "The field will be constructed within 2026. Efforts will be made to complete the work within 1,000 days. Afterward, supporters and members will be delighted to witness matches. The new stadium will offer all conveniences, nd the field will be renewed."
Camp Nou was established in 1957, attracting nearly a million spectators. In 2026, an even bigger stadium will be constructed, capable of accommodating a larger number of viewers. Prior to this, the field was rebuilt in 1982 and 1994.
Messi arrived at Barcelona at the young age of 13. He spent three years in the youth team before joining the senior team in 2004. He played for the same club for 17 years. In 2021, he left the Spanish team and joined Paris Saint-Germain. Two years ago, Messi bid farewell to Barcelona with tears in his eyes. After two years at the French club, he is now with Inter Miami. He will be seen playing for the American club.
