Not the first visit! Flick defeated Ajax at Camp Nou in 1987

Hupu November 18 News Following the public training on November 7, Barcelona coach Flick will face Athletic Bilbao at the Nou Camp Stadium this Saturday. The German has repeatedly expressed his desire to take charge of games at Camp Nou, but this match against Athletic Bilbao is not his first visit to the mecca.

During his time at Bayern Munich, Flick attended two games of the 1987 Gamper Cup and experienced firsthand the atmosphere of a packed-out Camp Nou. Flick's Bayern defeated Johan Cruyff's Ajax in the semi-finals (1-1, 4-2 on penalties), although they subsequently lost to Porto in the final (0-2). Flick started and played in both Gamper Cup games, but failed to play against Barcelona.

After obtaining the Level 1B license, Barcelona will be able to welcome Athletic Bilbao at the Camp Nou stadium and expand the number of spectators. At the same time, the stadium is also advancing the subsequent stages to complete its full reopening.

After participating in the Gamper Cup for more than 38 years, Flick will now have a new experience at the Camp Nou as the head coach, and will strive to start his new journey with a victory at the brand-new Barcelona home court.
