BARCELONA hope to see the 99,354-capacity Nou Camp stadium rocking for the ground-breaking Super League fixture between Catalans Dragons and Wigan.

The round-16 clash between the reigning champions and the Challenge Cup holders will take place on Saturday May 18 (kick-off 3.30pm British time).

The Dragons agreed to move the fixture 120 miles from their Perpignan home at the invitation of FC Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu following their parading of the Challenge Cup during a LaLiga match at the Nou Camp in September.
