The Joan Gamper Trophy, to be played in front of fans and against Juve

Barcelona will finally be able to enjoy its fans at the Joan Gamper Trophy. The Barcelona team's tournament par excellence will be the first event in which the Camp Nou will have a crowd.

Although it seemed that this was not going to happen, as the Catalan government expected the peak of the fifth wave for 8th August, the date on which they will play Juventus, the entities seem to have taken a step back.

Barcelona itself reported that it has finally obtained the green light from the Catalan government to play the Joan Gamper with the public at the Camp Nou.

The club confirmed that up to 19,969 spectators will be able to watch Barcelona's match against Juventus, that is, 20% of the total capacity.

Opposite, Ronald Koeman's side will face Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus. What is not yet known is whether Messi will be there, as he has not yet signed his new contract with Barcelona.
