According to AS, it could be their last at the old ground if projections prove correct, with a move to Nou Mestalla by summer 2027.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>After the Camp Nou, now Spotify Camp Nou, Mestalla is the ground where Barcelona have played most often. The first meeting here came in 1924\/25 in the Copa del Rey, and there have been 115 fixtures at Mestalla across six competitions. Barcelona\u2019s record stands at 43 wins, 30 draws and 42 defeats.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>The recent trend has been kinder. Across the last 10 seasons, starting 2015\/16, Barcelona have won five times, drawn three, all 1-1, and lost twice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Those defeats arrived in 2019\/20 and last season, the latter finishing 3-1. On the most recent visit, Flick\u2019s side were already league champions, rotated heavily and had no pressing need to win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Historically Mestalla has been a hostile venue and this fixture has often carried an edge.
