Catalunya Radio: Joan Gamper Trophy to be played behind closed doors
The friendly against Juventus was initially going to be played at 20% capacity
According to a report on Catalunya Radio, the Catalan Health Department has decided to take a step back in light of the recent surge in Covid-19 cases. The friendly was originally going to be played at 20% capacity, but it looks like the game against Juventus will finally be contested behind closed doors. This means that Barça will miss out on considerable ticketing revenue, which is particularly frustrating given the club's current financial situation.
The game could have marked the end of 17 months without fans in the stands, but it looks like we will need to wait a little longer before the Barça faithful can finally return to the ground.
