Chapecoense, Coutinho, Martinez & Real Madrid - Barcelona set for big week

After 79 days, and what has turned out to be a fairly traumatic summer for Barcelona, football finally returns to Camp Nou, with the Blaugrana set for a pivotal week.

First up, is the chance for supporters to see the team in action for the first time at Camp Nou as they take on Chapecoense in the Joan Gamper trophy.

It will be a poignant, emotional game on Monday night as the teams pay tribute to those who lost their lives in the tragic plane crash last November.

Barca should field a strong side with new signing Nelson Semedo expected to feature, and we may get a chance to see Gerard Deulofeu in action, as the club tune up their preparations before Sunday’s Supercopa de España against Real Madrid.
