Barça will close its European adventure in Montjuïc this Wednesday. This is how the 'culés' have fared in the Champions League after two seasons at the Lluís Companys
FC Barcelona closes its season at home this Wednesday, at a European level, against Inter Milan. The first leg of the Champions League semi-final will be the last match of the top European competition that the 'Azulgrana' team will play in Montjuïc, since in September, when a new Champions League begins, the team will have returned to the Sportify Camp Nou.
In principle, the club's idea is to play its first three league games as a visitor to have the entire month of August available for the set-up of the 'culé' temple. The Estadi will have a partial capacity of 65,000 spectators while work is completed on the third tier and the installation of the roof, which will be carried out in the summer of 2026.
🚩Montjuïc, a fortress for Barça in the Champions League
For the moment, the European balance in the two seasons that Barça was rented at the Lluís Companys has been very positive. After two consecutive eliminations in the group stage (2021, 2022), the 'Azulgrana' team reached the quarter-finals last season with only one defeat in five home games.
In 2024-25, the balance has been even more successful, with five wins and one draw so far in the tournament. This gives a total of 11 matches played with just one draw and one defeat, nine wins and a balance of 34 goals for and 11 against.
The only team so far capable of defeating Barça in Montjuïc was Paris Saint-Germain (1-4), in a match conditioned by the early expulsion of Ronald Araujo. This season, teams like Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund (4-0) left the Catalan fiefdom thrashed.
As a curious fact, Barcelona always scored at least one goal at home in the Champions League in Montjuïc. This season, only Leganés, in the League (0-1), was able to prevent Hansi Flick's team from scoring at home.

Meanwhile, the Spotify Camp Nou already shows a much more recognizable face. The new grass of the 'culé' temple has already been fully installed and the first two rings of stands also have most of the seats installed.
In that sense, Barça's return to the Estadi is getting closer and closer. Although it was not possible to return in time for the end of 24-25, the project will be much more advanced for the start of next season.
In addition, the installation of the grass at this time of year will allow us to have a field in perfect condition from now until September, giving the green space time to fully settle during the summer.
