Barcelona women are setting a great example for the men's side after lifting the league title on Sunday. (0:37)
Barcelona broke the attendance record in women's football for the second time in a month as they beat Wolfsburg in the first leg of the semifinals of the European Championship.
The previous record crowd for a women's game was set by Barcelona in March, when 91,553 people attended their quarterfinal against Real Madrid.
The guide is for viewers of LaLiga, MLS, FA Cup, and more.
In 1999, 90,185 fans watched the World Cup final between the United States and China at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Patri Guijarro said in a news conference after the game that it was spectacular both today and a month ago against Madrid. We will become a bit more of what we have achieved as the years go by. We are not completely aware of the magnitude of the attendances.
The Azteca Stadium was the site of the 1971 World Cup final, and some estimates suggest that over 100,000 people attended.
The club decided to move their knockout games to Camp Nou because of the bigger demand for tickets.
This was their third game at the stadium. They played against Espanyol behind closed doors due to the Pandemic, and then for the first time with fans against Madrid.
They were too good for Wolfsburg on the field, scoring four goals in the first half.
Ballon d'Or winner Putellas added her second from the penalty spot to seal a 45th successive win for Barcelona, a run dating back to last June.
The teams will meet again in the second leg at the Volkswagen Arena next Saturday, with the winner facing Lyon or Paris Saint-Germain in the final.
Tommy Stroot was not optimistic about his team's chances in the second leg.
He said that barca fans can book their tickets for the final.
Our challenge is to win next week without losing touch with reality. Winning is possible, although we have to change certain things.
