A call for all the fans to wear the Blaugrana colors. Another one for Johan Cruyff's skinned chicken to take over the old Camp Nou for the last time with the audience singing Barça's song a cappella. And through the public address system, even if it is virtually, the voice of the historic speaker Manel Vich will sound again as it did for 60 years with his deep and meaningful "Good evening everyone and welcome to the stadium". This evening, a Barça league champion will try to beat Mallorca to dedicate one last victory to the club that has been the home of Barcelona for 66 years. The "see you soon" Camp Nou will be accompanied by the farewell of two of its captains: Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. "The Camp Nou is our home. We have experienced many things there. Lots of emotions", said a nostalgic Xavi Hernández.
Before entering the Blaugrana fiefdom, which can be accessed from 5 p.m., Barcelona fans will be able to visit an exhibition with the great trophies won. "Despite the number of titles I won as a player, the most important thing is the esteem of the people. That's why, if I have to choose a moment lived at Camp Nou, I would choose my farewell as a player. Leaving feeling loved and winning a treble was the best", reflected Xavi.
The team will take to the pitch wearing a special shirt for the occasion with the message on the chest “Full of history. Full of future". It will also be worn by Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba. "Obviously we will miss them", said Xavi, who with his coaching staff and the rest of the squad will honor both footballers with a corridor. When the match is over, the two footballers will take the microphone and address the fans. "It's difficult to manage saying goodbye to friends. It happened to me with Piqué and Alves and now with Busquets and Alba", confessed Xavi, who since he arrived on the culer bench has had to prioritize the professionalism required by his profession "The position of coach is more important than any other thing", he recalled. "We don't need a relief because we have Balde and Marcos Alonso. But we do need another Busquets or we won't be able to compete", warned the coach, who beyond the farewells is already profiling next year's Barça.
Today may also be Ansu Fati's last game. "I don't know what will happen to him. We depend on financial fair play", warned Xavi, who does hope to have Koundé in Montjuïc. "It will not be an easy year. But we will return to a Camp Nou which will be better", he insisted.
The historic day of farewell will close with the locution of the poem by Josep Maria de Sagarra that was read on the day of the opening of the Camp Nou and with several Sardanist members who will dance a version of the Barça song, which will be offered by the Cobla Principal de Terrassa .
