Barcelona president Joan Laporta is preparing for tomorrow’s final game at the Nou Camp tomorrow as it stands today.
The match against Real Mallorca will be the last before the Nou Camp undergoes renovations.
Laporta told Sport: “It is the stadium where we have experienced moments of glory and also of suffering. It’s like a second home for us, where we come every fortnight, generally. It is a sanctuary. We carry it deep inside us, it’s part of our lives.
“Now we are going to fulfill a dream, which is to have an improved stadium and we are all excited. We will experience strong emotions this Sunday and we are excited about what the return will be like and what we will find. I see joy, enthusiasm and excitement at a fact that is making a collective dream of the Barcelonistas come true.
“Camp Nou is my life. I’ve been coming here since I was four years old. I used to go with my grandfather in the upper tier, I had to sit on the stairs because when you were little they would sneak you in and you sat wherever you could. My grandfather would buy me a dummy and go inside, while my father went to the sidelines. I remember the controversy with Rexach.
“I was a defender of his, this has always happened at Barça. For me the players were sacred. I argued with the people who shouted.”
