Concern at FC Barcelona! Montjuic is not ready for LaLiga

Another problem has arrived for FC Barcelona. The grass at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys is causing concern ahead of the start of the 2024/25 LaLiga season. The Joan Gamper Trophy ended up giving the Barça board more than one headache, because the 0-3 defeat against AS Monaco was not the only bad thing, the state of the pitch is another thing to consider.

During the match, it was possible to see how the green rose in many areas of the pitch, which was not at the level of perfection that the Barça team's grass is always used to. The ball did not circulate well and that made it difficult for the Barça team to develop its game, which could have influenced the result of the match.

Four concerts damaged the grass

It is important to note that the new grass for this start of the season was replanted after four concerts were held this summer. The performances were held under the approval of the Barcelona City Council, which put the Catalan team in a difficult position, because its positional and possession proposal could not be carried out against Monaco thanks to the constant slips and bounces of the ball on the ground.

Before the match, the pitch looked very good, with a spectacular green ready to start the campaign, but now some corrective measures must be made to avoid problems in the match of the second day of the Spanish league against Athletic Bilbao on August 24. In this match, the expected arrival of Nico Williams to Barcelona will take place, although possibly as a member of the rival team.
