The return to Camp Nou is the key in this 2025 we are approaching, symbolizing 125 years of FC Barcelona's history.
Historic among the historic, FC Barcelona is experiencing difficult times with an expiration date: the return of fans to Camp Nou.
The journey through the desert of Montjuïc is coming to an end. With the return home, season tickets and million-dollar box offices also return. Vital sources of income that have prevented the club from reaching its economic goals in recent years.
Barça Returns Home and Will be Strong Again
Dani Olmo's situation on the last day of 2024 is a good reflection of this state of abnormality. Barça has cleared its roster of the highest salaries: from Messi to Dembélé, including Griezmann, Coutinho, Piqué, Busquets, or Jordi Alba... however, the problem persists.
Barça has a greater borrowing capacity than others. Because it has sources of income that others will never have. However, it's been the envy of others that has been undermining Barça's stability in recent years.
However, this nightmare is ending. Barça will be strong again at home. Persisting in the idea we all applaud: homegrown players before hired mercenaries.
Historically, Barça has always trusted its own. The best Barça of Guardiola and Tito Vilanova already played with between 8 and 11 homegrown players. Not out of economic necessity.
It's the line. The line that Spain has taken advantage of to win titles with its national team by leveraging Barça players. Meanwhile, others who call themselves great were represented by one or no player.
Happy 2025, happy return to Camp Nou, and cheers to the 125th anniversary
