The average league attendance in the Camp Nou has risen once again this season, reaching 74,391.

Attendances at the Camp Nou continue to rise season by season, with sizeable increases since 2001-02. The average home league attendance for the season about to finish is 74,391, some 21,000 spectators more per match than five seasons ago.

Almost a million and a half

A total of 1,413,439 spectators have watched the 19 league matches played in the Camp Nou this season compared with 1,390,781 last season, an increase of nearly 23,000.

Once again, the match that recorded the highest attendance was the league clash against Real Madrid, which was watched by 97,823 spectators. Close behind comes the match against Sevilla in matchday 6 (91,220 spectators) followed by last Saturday’s derby against Espanyol (90,695). The match with the lowest attendance was against Atlético Madrid in matchday 16, just before Christmas – 21st December – with 53,685 fans.
