Lee Kang-in, is Barca's practice pitch real? Delayed occupancy of Kam Nou...I haven't heard about the substitute stadium yet

The British daily Daily Mail reported on the 13th (Korea time) 'A substitute stadium for the upcoming match against PSG-Barcelona scheduled for October 2 has not yet been secured'
Barcelona originally tried to play the season at its existing home stadium, Camnow, starting this month. The Camnow remodeling project, which cost 1.25 billion pounds (about 2.3624 trillion won), is being postponed repeatedly. Initially, the goal was to enter Kamnow in November last year, but postponement announcements were made not only in November but also in February and May. Currently, the completion date has been pushed back to next year.
Barcelona tried to play home games in a partial open form that halved the existing capacity of 100,000 people. However, the Barcelona City Council's refusal to open disrupted the plan. Barcelona decided to play a La Liga home game at the 6,000-seat Estati Johan Cruyff, a stadium used by Team B and the women's team, as the loan extension for the Estadi Olympics Luis Companis, which was used as an alternative stadium last season, was not made.
Elmundo Deportivo, a Spanish newspaper, said Barcelona will play the upcoming La Liga home game against Getafe in Camnow, but that is unlikely and is already preparing to play their home game at an alternative stadium.
The UEFA classifies the venues that can be held in each stage of the Champions League. There are at least 8000 seats in the stands at Category 4 stadiums where league phase games can be held. Aside from the detailed facility issues that follow, the number of Estadi Johan Cruyff stands does not meet them. If Barcelona fails to find an alternative stadium before the match against PSG, it could not only hit profits due to restrictions on spectators' admission, but also play home games in the wrong place.
