BARCELONA are redeveloping the iconic Nou Camp but they once planned to relocate to a stunning stadium in the ocean.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Spanish giants secured a \u00a31.3billion loan to upgrade their ground earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Demolition work is still ongoing but the famous venue now looks unrecognisable, with the visor that covered one side of the ground removed.<\/p>\n

The renovation of the Nou Camp will add a retractable roof and see the capacity increase to 105,000 – but Barcelona could have played in a much bigger stadium if previous plans did not fall through.<\/p>\n

In 2009 the club considered a proposal put forward by architect Emili Vidal to play in a stadium located in the sea.<\/p>\n

There were plans for a 150,000 capacity arena to be built in the bay of Barcelona, accessible only by a bridge.<\/p>\n

The venue, which was used as the Olympic stadium for the 1992 Summer Games, has a capacity of just 55,000.<\/p>\n

But six wins and two draws from eight games means they are one point behind rivals Real Madrid, who went top after beating Girona on Saturday.<\/p>\n
