Think there was American football to blame too.
They were 2 separate issues. The Joshua fight fucked the pitch for the Barcelona match.
The NFL fucked it for the Sheik Mansour team and PSV fixtures.

Lots of cleaning work going on. Glass at South, the public realm around the stadium.
That makes me think how good NWHL could be to host a boxing match. Probably better dimensions than Wembley (would give the cheaper seats at least some chance of seeing the fighters), better hospitality, better lighting setup.Setting up and clearing down Wembley for boxing is pretty easy ... the ring is the only thing that needs building and it's very basic ... otherwise it's laying down covering and putting out rows of chairs ... it's a few hours work at most
The state of the pitch after the boxing is so much worse than after American Football- its what really fecked it up last year.I was thinking that too, but with the boxing likely to go onto around 11ish and then taking he ring, seats down would most likely be around 5am Sunday morning before ground staff get to see the pitch, so I would rule out a Sunday match (no expert). Also IF we are still in the CL could be a midweek game that week (16/17 April: Quarter-finals, second leg) so that would rule out a Monday game.
Realise a lot of ifs and buts, just wonder if the club has thought about it.
More ITK from the Goat on SC......It’s next season for the stadium. We have had more than enough ITK to convince us that it will be next season.
Big green crane and trailers in Park Lane (seen at start of video). Can only assume its to take down the last crane (not used for about a week I think) and allow the area under crane to be renovated which will help to open up access to the steps up from the West Entrance.
blood and broken teeth all over the pitch...Last time it was left in a right state though.
ITK over on SC say we won't be in the stadium this season but get this...
We will be making 1 or 2 signings this window.
The big green crane is indeed taking down the last crane on site.
Cladding continues from the northern end of the east side of the stadium. Lots more infill of the main framework has been completed in the last couple of days - and from that its looking all but certain that there will be another 'non rectangular' screen (to match the west side screen on the east side.
Talking of the west side screen - in case you weren't sure what you were looking at, the screen can tell you (!) :
