Barcelona ranked as “best supported club” in Europe, Real Madrid 6th

After a difficult few years, Barcelona appear to be back on track. Having won their first trophy since the Copa del Rey in 2021 earlier this year, Xavi Hernandez’s side are on track to win their first La Liga title in four years.

Barcelona’s success this season has seemingly brought fans back to the Camp Nou, with the average attendance for Barca home matches this season sitting at 82,825, which ranks highest among clubs in Europe, according to information from Transfermarkt.

It should be noted that the Camp Nou is the largest stadium in Europe, with a capacity of 99,354. Nevertheless, it shows that Xavi has managed to bring fans back to the club, and it is certainly an exciting time to be a Barcelona fan right now.
