Barcelonas coach, Hansi Flick , needs a victory against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday to truly celebrate the reopening of the remodelled Camp Nou, which has been shut for two and a half years.
The team, which won a domestic treble last season, is currently three points behind Real Madrid due to an inconsistent start to their La Liga title defence, characterised by shipping 15 goals in their opening months.
The return to their home stadium, after being in exile at the Olympic stadium, is expected to provide a needed boost.
