Spotify Camp Nou recorded its highest attendance this season during the match between Barcelona and Newcastle United in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16, according to the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo."

The newspaper explained that the match, which took place after the full opening of the first two stands, was attended by 56,662 spectators, making it the highest attendance in the current season at the Catalan team's home ground.

The newspaper added that the league match against Sevilla, which took place last Sunday and ended with a score of 5-2, recorded an attendance of 56,483 spectators, which is slightly less than the Newcastle match in the Champions League.

The match was the first event to use the Goal Nord stand after obtaining the initial occupancy permit for phase 1C, which contributed to increasing the stadium's total capacity to 62,652 seats.

The newspaper also noted that the attendance at this match is the highest in the UEFA Champions League since 50,314 spectators were recorded at the Inter match at Montjuïc Stadium during the first leg of the previous season's semi-final.

To refer back to a previous Champions League match with a larger attendance at Spotify Camp, one must look at the encounter with Bayern Munich on October 26, 2022, which ended with Barcelona losing 3-0 and was attended by 84,106 spectators.
