Out with the old, in with the Nou

Never mind their earlier-than-anticipated Champions League exit, everything still looks rosy in the FC Barcelona garden.

With the club bouncing back from their recent mini-blip with an 8-0 battering of Deportivo La Coruna on Wednesday night, plans to revamp their iconic Nou Camp stadium were unveiled the following day.

The most notable change to the stadium is the addition of a roof which will cover all stands, as opposed to the way it is now, with just the one stand under shelter.

There are also significant modifications to the outside of the stadium, as can be seen in the video below.

The construction work will see the ground’s capacity grow from just shy of 100,000 to 105,000.

The project is set to cost £278m and is expected to be completed by 2022.

We already can’t wait to see it.
