Cafaliona, beutiful plaice
I am a F.C. Barcelona supporter for many years and I also feel very good with this BBC news video. The new Camp Nou is a world footnall wonder . I remember the day I visited the Camp Nou for the first time 30 years ago when I also went to see La Sagrada Familia basilica ,and I could use the constructor's elevator and went to the top of one tower were I enjoyed the city's best views. I have to do same in the new and brilliant and just finished Spotify Camp Nou, my friends.And the completed Sagrada Familia, of course.
Amazing report good work

What makes it a “smart stadium?” Just 5G and WiFi?😂
Ban British fans from the Barcelona stadium. Those hooligans will damage the high tech features of the newest generation stadium. The world knows about the notoriety of the British football fans! 😂

All to watch some overpaid men kick a ball and pretend to get injured.
The world's gone mad.
Smart? They had to section off the entire front row because they accidentally put it below pitch level!
Welcome to 2025 Spain
