Video. Barcelona fans return to Camp Nou after two years as stadium reopens


Camp Nou opened its gates again on Saturday night, allowing Barcelona fans to return after more than two years of renovation.

Around 45,000 supporters filled the stadium at half capacity, celebrating the chance to be back in their iconic home.

For many, the night marked the end of a long 900-day wait spent at the distant Olympic Stadium.

But there is still significant work before the new-look Camp Nou is finished and ready to hold 105,000 fans.

The top tier of Camp Nou remains mostly a skeleton of metal and concrete beams and pillars; huge construction cranes loom over the stadium and are visible from the stands, and there are areas that look like a construction site.
