Marcus Rashford's Barcelona home debut moves to tiny stadium with eye-watering ticket prices

Marcus Rashford's home debut for Barcelona has been moved to a stadium that has a capacity of just 6,000 with the Nou Camp still not ready after its renovation.

The La Liga champions will take on their former star Cesc Fabregas when he brings his Como side to Spain to play in a Joan Gamper Trophy showdown on Sunday night, which will also mark the first time loan signing Rashford has been able to play in front of his home fans.

The team cannot play at the Estadi Lluis Companys, where they held their home games last season, due to its obligations to host a number of concerts. Barcelona had been looking to stage the match in their new-and-improved Nou Camp but had those hopes were ended by the city council last month.

As a result they have had to turn to the city's 6,000-capacity Johan Cruyff Stadium, the home of Barcelona's women's team, to host the match.

Tickets will therefore be at a serious premium and that has been reflected in the prices. They went on sale on Monday and the cheapest ticket will set you back an eye-watering £120 (€138). The most expensive costing fans £172 (€198).

Rashford has just joined from Manchester United for the duration of the upcoming season, securing the move he craved more than any. The England international made his first outing in a friendly with Vissel Kobe late last month. Rashford has already found the net for his new side, converting in the 65th minute of Barca's 5-0 win over South Korean side Daegu FC on Monday.

The United loanee bolsters a forward line that includes the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. However there are fears that Barcelona's financial issues could mean Rashford isn't registered by the start of the season.

A similar issue last season left them struggling to register Dani Olmo, their marquee signing of 12 months ago, with La Liga keeping tabs on the balance sheet. However Rashford is confident the issue will be sorted.

He said: "It's something for the club to sort out. I believe they are going to get it sorted. I just focus on training and be ready for the start of the season." Club president Joan Laporta told Marca: "We signed this player because he was deeply committed to coming to Barcelona."
