Biggest crowd on Sunday

The Nou Camp registered the highest attendance of the official season on Sunday when 89.876 spectators turned out to see the 3-0 win over Atletic Madrid.

It’s traditionally an attractive fixture when Atletico visit Barcelona and with both teams making a good start to the campaign, as well as the early five o’clock kick off, it was perhaps not surprising that the attendance was the highest so far this season, nor that there were clearly a large cross section of fans at the ground from families to foreign fans and supporters’ club members.

Best attendance for an official match

The attendance was more than 10,000 more than the previous highest so far – the 77.399 who turned out to see the game against Seville, whilst the 98,559 who attended the Gamper Trophy win over Inter Milan was the largest single crowd at the stadium in all matches so far this season.
