ONE of the world's most famous football stadiums is completely unrecognisable after being demolished.

The Nou Camp has been home to Barcelona since 1957 but is currently undergoing work to be modernised.

A lot of the stadium has been pulled down leaving the once great stadium looking like a construction site rather than a footballing haven.

Pictures show that the grandstand cover and outer walls of the ground have are being torn down.

Cranes are going to work hauling down the stadium's outdated infrastructure as the redevelopment is in full swing.

The work on demolishing the grandstand is expected to be finished at the end of October.
