With work now ongoing for over a year, Barcelona have released an incredible timelapse video that shows the progress made by their efforts.

The clip shows how the stadium has been gutted and stripped back to its raw concrete form, before countless hours of hard work have begun to build it back up.

The club have taken off the entire top tier of the stadium as they rebuild the third tier to increase the capacity of the iconic ground.

When full completed, the stadium will house an impressive 105,000 fans - some 6,000 more than it was able to hold prior to the building work.

Barcelona are planning on returning to stadium halfway through the 2024-25 season, having been temporarily housed in the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium during the renovation.

However, their return will come before the ground's completion with the stadium set to be operating at just over 60 per cent capacity when they move back in.

The work isn't expected to be finished until August 2026.

Fans will get to experience a completely new look ground when the makeover is completed with Barcelona promising "the most innovative technological systems".
