Electric Home Crowd
Inside the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium, the support was just as fierce. Despite playing at Montjuïc, Barcelona fans turned up in huge numbers-50,207 spectators packed the stands, slightly surpassing the attendance of their recent LaLiga clash against Real Sociedad (50,103).
It ranked among the highest turnouts of the season, with only three matches drawing more:
The Champions League group game with Bayern (50,312)
The semi-final first leg against Inter (50,314)
The El Clásico clash with Real Madrid (50,319)
The figures proved once again that, venue aside, Barça supporters remain unwavering in their devotion, creating an atmosphere that lifted the players throughout the night.
