Women’s El Clasico breaks attendance record as 91,553 pack Nou Camp

Barcelona’s historic Women’s Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid at the Nou Camp has set a new domestic attendance record for a women’s fixture. 

The match, which proved to be an epic from start to finish and featured seven goals, will go down as an historic evening in women’s football. 

It was the reigning European champions who stole the bragging rights, winning 5-2 on the night and 8-3 on aggregate. 

Here’s the story of how events unfolded at the Nou Camp: 

The previous attendance record for a women’s domestic tie came in 2019 when 60,739 watched Atletico Madrid’s game against Barcelona at the Wanda Metropolitano. 

Though the game was a success, the Covid-19 pandemic stunted much of the progress that match had made up until now. 

But the atmosphere inside the Camp Nou was like nothing seen from a women’s fixture before.
