Camp Nou debuts with a tremendous round of boos, Lamine Yamal agrees

The match between FC Barcelona and Athletic Club this afternoon is much more than just a simple soccer game. Camp Nou has reopened more than 900 days later (900 days), or in other words, two and a half years of waiting that have seemed endless for Barça fans. The team's return to its stadium marks an emotional and sporting turning point for a Barcelona fanbase that dreamed of this moment.

The wait has been so long that players like Cubarsí, Gerard Martín, Fermín, Joan García, or Dani Olmo have set foot on Camp Nou for the first time in their lives today. The presence of so many debutants in such an imposing setting proves just how long the wait has felt for an entire generation. The atmosphere, filled with excitement and curiosity, has been the perfect prelude to a historic afternoon.

The pre-match events have lived up to the occasion, with a presentation as moving as it was powerful. The new Camp Nou has shown its technological and aesthetic prowess, placing itself without question among the best stadiums in the world. The fans, fully committed from the very first moment, have turned the build-up into a spectacle worthy of an elite inauguration.

Camp Nou fans also show their anger

Barça fans are smiling, and the team has replied with the authority of major occasions. Robert Lewandowski broke the deadlock right at the start, scoring a goal that ensures him a special place in the history of the Catalan club. The Pole's early success has unleashed euphoria in stands hungry for joy and top-level soccer.

However, despite the general happiness, there is an element that has caused the sound of whistling to be heard in most sections of the stadium. Lamine Yamal, the involuntary protagonist of this episode, was aware that something like this could happen. The young Barça talent knows well how the fans feel and knows that certain wounds don't heal overnight.

Nico Williams, neither forgotten nor forgiven

Indeed, every time Nico Williams touched the ball, the stands at Camp Nou replied with deafening whistles. The Athletic winger, one of the most unbalancing players in the league, has had to deal with a hostile atmosphere every time he approached the ball. The intensity of the whistles has surprised some, but not those who know the background of this story.

The reason for the anger is clear: his failed transfer to Barça left a mark on the fans. When everything was set and only the signature was missing, Nico Williams decided to back out at the last moment and renew with Athletic until 2034. The deal, which had caused enormous expectations, suddenly turned into a disappointment that was hard for Barça's circle to digest.

It has been under construction for a long time, but Camp Nou neither forgets nor forgives. The completely renovated stadium keeps intact the emotional memory that defines its character and that of its people. On an afternoon of debuts, excitement, and reunions, there has also been room to settle old scores, and Nico Williams has already realized it.
