Web and Facebook triumph with the clásico
Roger Bogunyà
After the Madrid v Barça game, the club website was visited by an astounding 330,000 people. And the news of the game on the club’s Facebook page received a staggering 40,000 comments.
Madrid v Barça is always special, as reflected by the traffic at www.fcbarcelona.cat. On the day
after the game, our site was viewed by 416,140 people, with over two million pages read (2,170,760)
by 332,285 single visitors. Quite some record
2-6, less visited
Last year’s historic 2-6 win led to 700,000 fewer visitors than this year’s win,
totalling 1,484,349. In terms of single visitors, the stats were also higher this term, and were
also higher than after Iniesta’s famous goal at Stamford Bridge and the day Ibrahimovic was
presented at the Camp Nou.
Facebook madness
The
FCB official Facebook page also registered amazing figures, and the match report was commented more
than 42,000 times, with 36,000 fans clicking on ‘like’ and almost 6,000 writing
opinions. On the day of Barça v Arsenal there were 7,000 fewer comments.
