Barca smash attendance record for women's football match in UCL win over Real Madrid

A grand total of 91,553 were in attendance at the Camp Nou as Barca ran out 5-2 winners on the night and 8-3 on aggregate in the quarter-final tie.

The previous highest turnout for a women's club game came in 2019 when 60,739 people saw Barcelona win 2-0 away to Atletico Madrid at Wanda Metropolitano.

Wednesday evening's crowd at Europe's largest stadium also dwarfed the record for spectators at a women's international, set when 80,203 fans witnessed the United States secure Olympic gold by beating Japan 2-1 at Wembley during London 2012.

Tickets for the clash at the 99,354 seater stadium had completely sold out and those who attended certainly got their money's worth.

Real briefly threatened to spoil the party after Olga Carmona's penalty and a fine strike from Claudia Zornoza put them 2-1 ahead on the night following Mapi Leon's early opener.

But Barcelona were not to be denied the El Clasico bragging rights on a historic evening.

Second-half goals from Aitana Bonmati, Claudia Pina, Ballon d'Or holder Alexia Putellas and Caroline Hansen comfortably sent them through.

They will discover their semi-final opponents on Thursday when 2007 winners Arsenal travel to Volkswagen Arena to take on Wolfsburg with the tie level at 1-1 following last week's first leg.
