The British architect Norman Foster who designed the new Wembley has been selected to redesigned Barcelona's stadium the Nou Camp.

'The proposal will not be similar to Wembley in terms of aesthetics but will reflect its modernity and functionality,' Barca's director of capital resources Joan Franquesa was quoted as saying on the club's Website.

They said they hoped to transform the stadium into 'an iconic element of the city.'

The estimated cost of the project is around 250 million euros and it will reportedly increase the capacity to around 104,000.

Foster's other projects have included the restoration of the Reichstag in Berlin, the Millennium Bridge in London, Hong Kong Airport and the Millau viaduct in France

Nou Camp is already amazing and has a huge capacity. It will scare the small spanish teams. Barcelona might have a bit of a delay going by how long wembley took
