Bar\u00e7a will debut at the Spotify Camp Nou, in La Liga, on matchday 4 of the 25\/26 season. Valencia will be the first official opponent of the ‘cul\u00e9s’ at the ‘azulgrana’ temple.<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona already knows its schedule for the next LaLiga EA Sports season. The title defense in 2025\/26, as planned, starts with three away matches<\/strong>, after the permission granted by the league to allow an extra month for the remodeling works of the Spotify Camp Nou.<\/p>

Hansi Flick’s team debuts against Mallorca<\/strong> and, subsequently, visits Levante and Rayo<\/strong>, this match just before the international break in September. The team will return to action on Saturday, September 13th or Sunday, September 14th against Valencia<\/strong>, being this the first official rival of Bar\u00e7a in their return to the Estadi.<\/p>

The ‘cul\u00e9s’ will play the Joan Gamper Trophy against the Italian side Como at Camp Nou on August 10th, but this will be a friendly match considered as a pilot plan for the total reopening of the ‘azulgrana’ stronghold. <\/p>

Against Valencia, however, three points will be at stake against a rival that, in its last visit to Catalonia, suffered a historic thrashing. The previous season, at Montju\u00efc, Bar\u00e7a crushed Carlos Corber\u00e1n’s team (7-1).<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a has not fallen against Valencia at the Spotify Camp Nou since 2016<\/h2>

For the ‘azulgrana’ team, Valencia has ceased to be a major threat in recent seasons. The balance at Montju\u00efc was overwhelming: two victories in as many matches, with a balance of 11 goals in favor and 3 against<\/strong>.<\/p>

In the last nine seasons, in fact, the ‘ch\u00e9’ team could only rescue two draws (both 2-2) at the ‘cul\u00e9’ stronghold, the last of them on matchday 14 of the 20\/21 season. To see Valencia adding three points at Camp Nou, you have to go back ten seasons, to matchday 33 of the 15\/16 season<\/strong>.<\/p>

The team then managed by Pako Ayester\u00e1n won by the minimum against Luis Enrique’s Bar\u00e7a (1-2) thanks to an own goal by Iv\u00e1n Rakitic and another goal by Santi Mina<\/strong>. Leo Messi scored for the Catalans, who despite the defeat managed to maintain the lead and stay with the championship.<\/p>

Before the remodeling of the ‘cul\u00e9’ temple, Valencia fell by the minimum in their last visit to Les Corts (1-0), in March 2023. Raphinha, with a header, scored the winning goal<\/strong> on matchday 24 for Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez’s Bar\u00e7a, who would finally lift that La Liga title (the 22\/23).<\/p>
