Barça closes two seasons at Montjuïc eager to return home.

It's never easy to leave your home. To change neighborhoods. To leave your surroundings. It's annoying to have to pack up, gather your belongings, and move. Even if it's six kilometers away, even if it's temporary, even with the promise of soon returning to a modern, new, state-of-the-art stadium, "the best stadium in the world," in the words of Joan Laporta.

It's hard to feel comfortable anywhere else. It's cold outside Camp Nou. Montjuïc Mountain isn't like Les Corts, where Barcelona has been based for a century. There's no metro. There are a lot of stairs to get there. It's smaller. It doesn't fit all the season ticket holders. You don't see football the same way. The Olímpic Lluís Companys has an athletics track that separates the pitch from the stands. The seating isn't fixed. "It's not my lifelong seat," says the member, who could have taken a leave of absence.

They will debut Youth players like Cubarsí, Olmo, and Fermín still don't know what it's like to play at the Spotify Camp Nou.

But everything comes to an end. We knew when the construction would begin, but not when we could return, although the idea of ​​being at Camp Nou for the 125th anniversary was poetic but too daring. Barça left for 15 months and has spent two full seasons at Montjuïc.

The match against Villarreal was the last , "if everything goes as planned," it's worth emphasizing. Next season, Barça will start at home with 60% capacity. Important players like Cubarsí, Olmo, and Fermín still haven't experienced playing at the Estadi. Iñigo Martínez, yes, but wearing the Real Sociedad and Athletic Club shirts.

In 53 meetings The Blaugrana have won three out of four matches in the mountains: 40 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses.

But the fans have responded. The Lluís Companys stadium averaged 46,134 spectators in its second season. It took a while. But Barcelona fans saw they had a new generation of young players to support, who, given time, would bring a lot of joy. Xavi, a legend who had just won a league title, didn't do well there. However, with Flick, everything went swimmingly.

In two seasons, Barcelona have played 53 official matches and won 40, which is three out of four. Some people think that some results, some defeats (8) or draws (5), would not have escaped with the magical nights at the Barcelona temple. There is only one team that has a perfect record of victories there and that is Villarreal, two visits, two wins . The 3-5 led to Xavi's resignation, the 2-3 didn't matter because Barça were given the champion's bow.

Ahead of Raphinha (24) and Lamine Yamal (11) With 34 goals, Lewandowski is the player who has scored the most goals at the Lluís Companys stadium.

Even though he debuted at Camp Nou, Montjuïc will always be the place where Lamine Yamal emerged. It also saw the debut of the CAT mascot. Two icons who are here to stay.

In total, Barça fans have celebrated 143 goals from 23 different players. It's no surprise that Lewandowski, with 34, was the top scorer, nor that he was followed by the other members of the trident: Raphinha (24) and Lamine Yamal (11).

The most uncomfortable visitor Villarreal has a 100% win rate on their away games: they beat Xavi (3-5) and Flick (2-3)

It all started on August 20, 2023, with a win over Cádiz, and Pedri was the man who opened the scoring. It all ended in May 2025, with Fermín scoring the last home goal. Barça's goalkeepers have conceded 63 goals.

The most curious case is that of Vítor Roque. The Brazilian striker scored at Montjuïc for both the Blaugrana (against Osasuna ) and the Verdiblancos (in the Copa del Rey , from a penalty). With and against Barça. He's not the only one to have scored with two shirts, as Mbappé did so with PSG and Real Madrid, and before that, Sorloth, with Villarreal and then Atlético .

See you later, Montjuïc. “ Athletes, come down from the stage ” was the closing ceremony of the Barcelona Games. Footballers, come down from the mountain. Looking forward to going home.
