Barcelona's victory over Real Madrid in the Women's Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday was watched by 91,553 fans at the Nou Camp, making it a landmark moment for women's football in Europe.
The hosts came from behind to beat their bitter rivals 5-2 to reach the semi-finals with an 8-3 aggregate win, setting up a last-four meeting with either Arsenal or Wolfsburg.
The previous highest turnout for a women's club game came in 2019 when 60,739 people saw Barca beat Atletico Madrid 2-0 at Wanda Metropolitano. The previous Champions League record was 50,212 for a game between Lyon and Frankfurt in Munich in 2012.
It was also the first time Barcelona's women's team played a match at the Nou Camp in front of fans. They had played at the stadium before but behind closed doors because of restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
