Some football clubs have very large fan bases. These clubs tend to have tens of thousands of fans coming to their stadiums every game. Given the capacity of the stadiums, they were able to maintain a high average audience throughout the season.
The European football club with the highest average attendance is Barcelona. The Catalan side have averaged 83,512 people in attendance this season. This is supported by the fact that Barcelona's stadium, Spotify Camp Nou, has a capacity of over 90,000.
The second football club on the list is Borussia Dortmund. The German Bundesliga club has an average attendance of 81,171 this season. Signal Iduna Park has a capacity of 81,365, meaning the stadium is always packed for most of the matches.
Bayern Munich is third on the list. The German Bundesliga giants have averaged 75,007 attendees so far this season. Fourth on the list is Manchester United. The Reds almost always have a full audience watching their games most of the time and this season their average attendance is 73,960.
Here are the full details of the top six clubs with the highest average attendances in European football this season:

A Man City star favored by Pep Guardiola is unsettled at the club and could be looking for a transfer this summer. His latest message sounds familiar to Liverpool.
Pep Guardiola and Jürgen Klopp have more in common than one might think. On the one hand, only the managers of Liverpool and Manchester City can claim to share an understanding of what it means to have consistently competed at the top of England and Europe over the past half-decade.
But it goes further than that. Tactically, the convergence between Klopp and Guardiola - once seen as polar opposites - is interesting to watch. Arguably the Catalan manager is currently the most active pressurer in modern football's elite, while his Liverpool counterpart is on a long-term quest to improve his controlling play. ball for his team.
However, perhaps the biggest similarity is also the most overlooked. While Klopp has a reputation as a brilliant manager at Liverpool, Guardiola is often ignored or even criticized in this regard. Higher player rotation means problematic team management. And yet, even if the players want to leave Manchester City, it seems Guardiola has a way for them to maximize their return. To some extent, he and Sergio Aguero never seemed to be the most natural bedmates, but the Argentinian continued to be an important player during his time under the former manager. member of Barcelona. Bernardo Silva seems to want to leave in every transfer window but is always a thorn in the eyes of the opposition.
Guardiola's way of managing men may not be like Klopp's, but he often finds a way to keep his rookies productive, if not always happy. However, the nature of Manchester City's talent hoard is that there will always be world-class stars who are relatively unhappy at some point, and that inevitably leads to transfer rumors. The latest whispers concern Aymeric Laporte, who has been strangely ostracized this season. Once called 'the best left-back in the world' by Guardiola, he started just six games all season, with seven absentees due to a knee injury that caused him to miss. campaign start time. According to Give Me Sport, he is "likely" to leave.
Darwin Núñez of Liverpool scores on goal under pressure from Manchester City's Aymeric Laporte during the Carabao Cup Round 4 match between Manchester City and Liverpool at Etihad Stadium on December 22, 2022 in Manchester, England.
Aymeric Laporte looks unsettled at Manchester City, after posting a message Liverpool fans will think familiar. Former Manchester City defender Nedum Onouha once called elite left-backs 'unicorns of football', making Laporte's absence even more confusing in a way - despite although the rise of fellow left-winger Nathan Aké can partly explain it. But it still seems like a huge waste of talent.
Disappointment seems to have won over Laporte. In a recent Instagram Story (via ManchesterCity.news), he posted a message that wasn't particularly cryptic. Translated, it looks like this:
“After the rain comes a rainbow; after a storm, calm down; and after an end, a new beginning.
For Liverpool, it will at least sound almost familiar, with words that mirror the lyrics of the club You'll Never Walk Alone. Of course, Laporte wouldn't have intended that, but it does seem to imply that he's currently riding through the metaphorical storm.
