Why was the attendance so low for Barcelona v Atletico Madrid?

05.12.2023 - 11:19 thenationalnews.com

Just 34,568 fans watched Barcelona against Atletico Madrid on Sunday evening, a La Liga match between two giants fighting for the title.

Both teams were packed with stars in a game filled with intrigue. How would Barca's on-loan Joao Felix do against the team who pushed him away last term (he scored the winner), or Memphis Depay do for Atletico on loan from Barcelona (the substitute didn’t do much)?

More people watched two games in England’s second tier at Leeds United and Sunderland last week. The attendance against Atletico was Barcelona’s lowest of the season so far, way down from the equivalent fixtures last term which attracted 80, 965.

There are numerous reasons why. The main one is that Barcelona are playing games at the city’s Olympic Stadium while Camp Nou is being rebuilt and expanded to hold 105,000.
