Camp Nou was one of targets of 2017 Barcelona terror attacks
It's been confirmed that Barça's stadium was on the list of targets
Camp Nou was the target for a terror attack in August 2017 three days after Las Ramblas were hit in the city, leaving 13 dead and 100s injured.
An inquiry into the attack confirmed on Tuesday that Barça's famous stadium was a possible target on the day Barça hosted Real Betis in La Liga, along with the Sagrada Familia in the city and the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Local police in Barcelona found that Mohamed Houli and Driss Oukabir, plus a supposed collaborator, Said Ben Iazza, were involved with preparing the attacks as part of a terrorist cell.
The three are facing prison time of between eight and 41 years for their role in the attacks which were carried out in Barcelona and also Cambrils on the same day. Covering both attacks, 16 lives were lost.
"The chosen date was Aug. 20 at Camp Nou," is a message on one of their phones. Days prior to the attack, two members of the terrorist cell were in the club's shop buying products.
