Rainy Night at Camp Nou: Barça Sees Off Oviedo 3-0
In a weather-logged La Liga clash on Sunday, Barcelona welcomed Real Oviedo to Camp Nou as sheets of heavy rain drenched the pitch, putting the stadium's facilities to the test.
Barcelona took the lead and sealed a 3-0 victory in Matchday 21, reclaiming top spot in La Liga less than a day after losing it.
The rain intensified late in the contest, significantly affecting play and forcing discussions about match conditions and stadium readiness.
The Tunisian commentator Essam El-Shawaly shared his remarks on the downpour on BeIN Sports, while officials were urged to end the match near the 90th minute due to the weather.
Video clips circulated showing journalists' corridors flooded, underscoring a near-collapse of facilities as pools formed in media and spectator areas.
Barcelona's win highlighted a strong performance despite the weather, as Oviedo battled the elements and the scoreboard.
And yes, even the ball had to negotiate the rain—proof that football sometimes requires a good umbrella trick. If the rain were a player, it would be Barcelona’s toughest rival tonight: it never lets up, but somehow Barça still finds a way to score jokes and goals alike.
