The deputy mayor of Barcelona said in an interview with RAC1 that he hopes that the Camp Nou will be partially opened on October 18.

Batrie believes that Barcelona is expected to partially reopen the Camp Nou Stadium in the match against Girona on October 18, saying: "We hope to complete the adjustments needed and give permission to reopen from a safe perspective. I think some of the minor issues that have existed before can be solved. We hope to complete the adjustments and be able to approve the partial opening of the Camp Nou Stadium."

Since last week, the tug-of-war between Barcelona and the city government over the reopening of the stadium has been further escalated. The club had hoped to return to home in last Sunday's match against Real Sociedad, but the city and fire department refused on the grounds of safety issues.

Barcelona quickly took measures to resolve existing problems. Now, as Bartley said, the city has the confidence to propose the date of October 18.
