Coaching Barcelona’s first game at Camp Nou! World Sports: Flick defeated Ajax at Camp Nou in 1987

World Sports reported that after the public training on November 7, Barcelona coach Flick will direct the game at the Spotify Nou Camp Stadium for the first time this Saturday.

The German coach has repeatedly expressed his desire to coach at the Nou Camp, but the game against Athletic Bilbao will not be his first visit to this stadium.

During his time as a Bayern Munich player, Flick participated in the 1987 Gamper Cup and experienced the sold-out Camp Nou first-hand. Bayern defeated Johan Cruyff's Ajax on penalties in the semi-finals, but lost to Porto in the final. Flick played the full game in both games but failed to face Barcelona directly.

Having obtained the 1B license, Barcelona can now welcome Athletic Bilbao with an expanded spectator capacity, while the club also advances the new phase to complete the reopening of the stadium.

It has been more than 38 years since he last participated in the Gamper Cup. Flick will now usher in a new experience as a coach at the Spotify Nou Camp and strive to start his journey in the renovated blue-red home court with a victory.
