FC Barcelona has finally returned to its beloved Camp Nou stadium after a 909-day absence, and the atmosphere was electric. As fans poured into the stands, it felt like old times - the same bars, the same faces, and even some of the same seats were back in place. The 18-year-old Ferran Torres scored two goals, including an impressive assist for his teammate, Robert Lewandowski, to mark a new era at the stadium.
Coach Hansi Flick described the day as "historic," a feeling that echoed the sense of comfort and familiarity that many fans felt as they returned to their home ground. For Flick, it was a moment he had dreamed of since he first started working with Barcelona years ago - being back at the Camp Nou, where history is written.
As part of the stadium's re-inauguration, 1,000 tickets were sold for €199 to €588 each. On the day itself, around 45,157 fans attended the match, a number that will grow when all three tiers are completed and the roof is installed. However, on this first day back, the stadium felt open and welcoming - with many familiar features still intact.
A unique aspect of the Camp Nou's return was its sense of continuity. Five of Barcelona's new starters had never played at the stadium before, but as they took to the pitch, it was like no time had passed at all. Even for those who had been away for two years, the experience felt familiar - a sense of being back in the wide, circular bowl where some of football's greatest legends once played.
The Camp Nou rebuild is not yet complete, with only three sides of the lower two tiers open. However, on this first day of their return home, Barcelona and its fans were overjoyed to be reunited at what will eventually become one of Europe's largest stadiums, a place where history will be written once again.

I think it's awesome how FC Barcelona has brought back that familiar feel to the Camp Nou stadium after being away for so long 
. It's great to see the fans happy and comfortable in their home ground, and I love how coach Flick is taking it all in, must be a dream come true for him 
. The new signings seem to have settled in pretty quickly too, like they've been there forever 
. And that price range for those 1000 special tickets? A bit steep, but I guess when you're buying a slice of football history, it's worth it 
. Can't wait to see how the rest of the stadium comes together and what kind of magic they'll create on the pitch 
.
the energy is palpable 
909 days of waiting feels like an eternity 
but it's all worth it to see the Camp Nou buzzing with life again 
those who were around when it closed down must be nostalgic 
and now we get to experience the magic all over again 
oh man I'm so stoked they finally back in the Camp Nou stadium! it feels like old times when all the bars and faces are still there 
Hansi Flick said it was historic and I can feel the comfort and familiarity from the fans who finally back home 
. The €199-€588 ticket prices are kinda steep tho 
but hey at least they're selling 45k+ tickets on the first day already 
. i love how all the old bars and seats were still intact - it felt like we just picked up where we left off, even with new players on the team 
. ferran torres and robert lewandowski are goals 
! and can you believe coach flick is finally back at his happy place 
. this feels like a new era for barcelona, but still so much of that old magic and history 
.
, his goal was insane 
. I think it's awesome that they've managed to keep so much of the old stadium intact - it really felt like old times walking in 
. But for now, it's all about the football and the fans being reunited 
it feels so surreal that they're finally back! the atmosphere was insane and it's clear that the stadium still has that magic 
coach flick must've been dreaming of this moment for ages, i mean who wouldn't want to be back at the camp nou? 
Robert Lewandowski's assist was pure magic 
. I'm so stoked to see how the rebuild turns out and can't wait to experience Camp Nou in all its glory when it's completed 
feran torres and robert lewandowski are an amazing combo tho can't wait to see what the rest of the season holds for them 
. and €199-€588 ticket prices? that's crazy expensive for a football match lol. i mean, i get it, barca has some of the best fans in the world, but come on, can't they just make tickets more affordable for the regular folks? anyway, glad to hear that the stadium feels like old times though 
anyhoo, can't wait to see the full stadium complete & packed with 60k+ fans 
️ It's amazing to see Camp Nou back in action like that 
. I'm glad Ferran Torres made it a memorable day for Barcelona fans, especially with those two goals 
.
! The €199-€588 ticket prices might be steep, but I'm sure it'll all be worth it for Barcelona fans who get to witness history being written at Camp Nou again 
. I mean, 909 days is a looong time away from home 
. I'm glad to see the new era starting off on a high note 
️. Bring on more matches at the Camp Nou! 
i love how the coach said it was historic tho, like he's been waiting for this moment for ages
