UEFA makes official the most anticipated news for Barça, even better than Joan García's

After the international break and a week of rest, joy has once again settled within FC Barcelona. The fans are much more at ease seeing that the infirmary is gradually emptying. In addition, the return to Camp Nou on November 22 against Athletic Club has reignited excitement throughout the Barcelona community.

In this context, the first major joy for Hansi Flick has a first and last name: Joan García. The goalkeeper, who had been absent for several weeks due to physical problems, is now training normally and is expected to start against Athletic Club. The coaching staff's trust in him is absolute, to the point that they've identified him as the goalkeeper for both the present and the future.

However, above Joan García's recovery and the return to Camp Nou, there's a third development that overshadows any other headline. UEFA has officially announced that the new Camp Nou is one of the candidate venues to host the 2029 Champions League final. The other major candidate is Wembley, a classic in these types of designations, which shows the level of the Barça project.

Camp Nou can be the venue for the 2029 Champions League final

At the institutional level, this is a huge endorsement of the work done by the club in recent years. UEFA considers that the renovated Barça stronghold is ready. Camp Nou competing with Wembley means Barça is once again at the center of the European soccer map.

From an economic perspective, having the 2029 final played at Camp Nou would be a tremendous boost for the club. We're talking about an entire week of commercial activity, sponsors fully engaged, massive tourism, and a global impact that's hard to quantify. In sporting terms, the confirmation from UEFA is even more powerful.

If there are no setbacks, in 2029, players like Pedri, Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, or Fermín López will be at the peak of their careers. In other words, Barça could reach that final with a mature squad, homegrown and fully recognized among the best in Europe.

For the current squad, knowing that Camp Nou could host a Champions League final in four years becomes an extra motivation. It's not the same to dream of lifting the trophy as it is to imagine doing so in your own stadium, in front of your people, in the place where you grew up as a footballer. It's a goal that could define a generation and give meaning to many sporting and structural decisions.
