THE NOU CAMP looks completely unrecognisable as demolition work continues at the iconic football stadium.<\/p>\n
The home of Barcelona has been undergoing a huge renovation process since the World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And fans will now struggle to recognise the Nou Camp as two historic features have been pulled down.<\/p>\n
One element that has been removed is the visor that covered one side of the field and gave shelter to fans from the rain and sun.<\/p>\n
Cranes have been brought in to remove what is left of it as much of the framework does lie where the pitch used to be.<\/p>\n
The second feature that has been completely demolished is the third tier of the stadium.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The tier has almost been completely destroyed ahead of the deadline for the work to be done in that area in October.<\/p>\n
While the work is underway Barcelona are currently playing at the Estadi Lluis Companys Stadium.<\/p>\n
The LaLiga giants are expected to play the entirety of the season at the ground in southwest Barcelona.<\/p>\n
The stadium – which is the home of the Catalonia National football team – can seat up to 55,000 people.<\/p>\n
