Camp Nou fortress — and an injury
Barcelona’s men have turned Spotify Camp Nou into a fortress with 14 straight home wins this season — a run that includes 4-0 vs Athletic, 7-2 vs Newcastle and a 1-0 over Rayo (Araújo header, 24') — while the squad now copes with Jules Koundé sidelined by a hamstring injury. The home streak and Koundé’s absence both shape Barça’s LaLiga and European run‑in. (x.com) (football-espana.net)
Since returning to the renovated Spotify Camp Nou this season, Barcelona have recorded a perfect set of home wins — registering 15 victories at home across competitions so far. (footystats.org) Across those home fixtures Barça have posted 47 goals scored and only eight conceded, underlining how heavily the squad have leveraged home advantage. (sports.yahoo.com) The club’s move back into Camp Nou began with the stadium reopening on 22 November 2025, and the ground is still undergoing phased renovation while hosting matches. (en.wikipedia.org) Official medical tests confirmed Jules Koundé has a mid‑third biceps femoris (left hamstring) injury, with the club statement saying “his recovery will determine his availability.” (fcbarcelona.com) Koundé limped off after roughly 10–13 minutes of the Copa del Rey semi‑final second leg against Atlético Madrid on 3 March, forcing an early substitution that compounded Barça’s full‑back problems that night. (sportsdunia.com) Manager Hansi Flick described the injuries as frustrating and said he would speak to the medical staff, and João Cancelo has been moved into the full‑back rotation while the club reshuffles options. (espn.com) Spanish reports put Koundé’s absence at around a month or at least until the end of March while medical progress is monitored, and he was ruled out of France’s March camp as a result.
