Much has been said about the future of FC Barcelona after the departure of Argentine Lionel Messi from the team, especially given the economic crisis that the sports club is going through today and with it its prestigious name in the world.

FC Barcelona and LEGO
From now on, Barcelona fans will be able to collect a new unique product: the set LEGO Camp Nou, which is a detailed representation at the scale of the soccer team’s stadium, which has a price of 8,499 Mexican pesos.
The set consists of a total of 5 thousand 509 LEGO blocks and every detail highlights the place where the Barca players have achieved achievements and unforgettable victories such as the full field, the stands, the player tunnel and even the coach of the team.
All the elements are well planned, as there is even a 5-0 scoreboard which refers to the unforgettable victory of the team, as well as the FC Barcelona motto “More than a Club” built between the blocks that make up the stands .
The measurements of the set are 20 cm high, 49 cm wide and 46 cm deep. This scale model is undoubtedly an attraction for all those club fans looking to take this appreciation to another level and will make the name of the club invade millions of homes.

Key collaboration amid the crisis
Although this collaboration may not be the solution to the millionaire problems of FC Barcelona, the truth is that it is a great step to sustain the name of the brand and the value of the team, mainly at a time when, for many, it lost to a key player within its structure and commercial success.
In addition, this adds an important company to the list of LEGO collaborators, a company that has worked with other big names such as Star Wars, Harry Potter, DC Comics and others. In his social networks he has not stopped receiving compliments for his new set.
“This is why lego is the best brand in the world,” wrote one user.

Likewise, this could be the first of an exclusive line of stadiums that include the best-known football stadiums in the world, where perhaps we could see sets from the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, in Madrid, or even from the Azteca stadium, in Mexico City. .
In addition, it should be considered that only on August 16, the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, explained from a press conference. that the economic situation of the team “is dramatic”, as it has a debt of 1,350 million euros.
Speculation aside, Joan Laporta reported this Monday that FC Barcelona has “a negative net worth of 451 million euros” and “working capital is also negative at 551”.
The reason? The manager assures that the club’s situation is due to “a ‘modus operandi’ that he skipped all the controls Of the entity”.
Among other data revealed by the president of the club, it was noted that during the 2020-2021 financial year there were losses amounting to 481 million euros, expenses of 1,136 million and a hit by the coronavirus of 91 million more.
