It's magical.
That was how Putellas described playing in front of a record-breaking crowd.
It was the first time that the team appeared in front of fans at the stadium and it was a success.
The players produced a sensational display to destroy Real Madrid and reach the semi-finals of the European competition, but all eyes were on the crowd to see if it could surpass 60,739 and set a new record for a women's club game.
The 1999 World Cup in the United States set a record for the largest crowd to watch a women's football match.
Ballon d'Or winner Putellas said the turnout had left her speechless.
This has been amazing. She said that when the match was over the fans didn't want to go home and there was a connection between them and us.
I saw a lot of children with that spark in their eyes. Being a part of history is amazing.
Putellas was one of the goals as the defending champion came from behind to win 5-2 on the night and take an 8-3 aggregate victory.
Aitana Bonmati said that they have recently been through some wonderful experiences. Maybe this was more special.
A full Nou Camp and making history is immense.
The Barcelona team bus had to squeeze through thousands of fans singing and waving flags outside the stadium long before the game started.
The words "more than empowerment" were spelled out in a giant mosaic inside the ground before the start of the match.
The club said filling the biggest stadium in Europe would send out a clear message to aspiring young girls all around the world that they can do it too.
There were question marks over how many fans would show up after the club gave away some of the tickets for free.
The stadium was half full when the match began, but by the end it was almost full, with fans in attendance creating a carnival atmosphere.
The coach of Barcelona told his players before the match that it wasn't enough to simply qualify. We had to put on a show for our fans.
What a great day this has been! We will remember it for the rest of our lives. The match was amazing. It is difficult to explain all the emotions you feel on a night like this.
Despite seeing his side on the wrong end of a thumping, Real Madrid coach Alberto Toril agreed that it was a great spectacle.
Two super teams wanted to compete, to attack and a huge crowd. Women's football is unstoppable, it's going to grow and grow.
Footballers around the world enjoyed seeing women's football on the biggest stage, and it wasn't just those involved in the match who enjoyed the occasion.
A player who used to play for Barcelona is now a player. Manchester United goalkeeper Mary Earps said it was insane.
Alex Scott, who played for England and the Gunners, said that when she faced Barcelona, they played in front of a couple of hundred people.
She said that having the game played here shows how far the game has come.
