End of an Era: FC Barcelona's iconic Camp Nou has been demolished

It's the end of an era for FC Barcelona as their historic stadium, Camp Nou, has been demolished as part of plans for a new stadium.

The iconic stadium of Barcelona is undergoing a redevelopment that is expected to be finished in March 2026, nearly 1000 days from now.

The club announced that the team would play at the Olympic Stadium, a short stop across the city from Camp Nou.

The renovations will cost the club £1.25 billion and will see the capacity grow from 99,354 to 105,000, with a roof included around the stadium.

According to dailymail.co.uk, Club president Joan Laporta said: "After walking around and seeing the pace of the works, which are going well, it gives you the feeling of hope and joy because we are fulfilling a collective dream of the people of Barcelona."

Since the stadium opened in 1957, Camp Nou has hosted some of the most incredible matches in the history of the game.

Here are the greatest games at Camp Nou!

The Champions League Final at Camp Nou in 1999 was one of the most extraordinary finals in history, with Manchester United scoring two late goals in added time to win.

Bayern led until the 91^st minute, but goals from Teddy Sheringham off one corner and a winner from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer off another 30 seconds later were enough for United to win the treble.

In 2013, Barcelona became the first team to overcome a two-goal deficit without the benefit of an away goal in the Champions League.

It turned out to be an easy feat for the prime Barcelona team, with Lionel Messi scoring two goals before David Villa and Jordi Alba completed the 4-0 victory.

The most memorable El Classico game at Camp Nou was Barcelona's 5-0 rout over Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid team in 2010.

Mourinho was undefeated in his tenure at Madrid until he came up against Barcelona at Camp Nou, with a sublime display from Lionel Messi piling on the misery for Real.

Perhaps the most historic game at Camp Nou was Barcelona's unbelievable 6-1 victory over PSG, overturning PSG's 4-0 lead from the first leg.

A goal from Edison Cavani looked to have killed the comeback, but two goals from Neymar and a 95th-minute winner from Sergi Roberto completed the greatest comeback in Champions League history.

When the new stadium is completed in 2026, the brand new Camp Nou will play host to some of the most incredible games in the future of the sport.
