The Barça club’s forecast is that it will reach a range of between 40,000 and 45,000 followers.
In the Joan Gamper Trophy and against Cádiz it was not possible to reach those figures
49,472 spectators. It is the maximum capacity of the Lluís Companys stadium to watch FC Barcelona matches this season. Practically half that of the old Spotify Camp Nou. Tonight’s game against Betis is the second official match played in Montjuïc this season (the Blaugrana have played in Getafe, Villarreal and Pamplona) and the forecast at the Barça club is that there will be a notable entry.
It will not be a full house but the forecast is that there will be more than 40,000 spectators. At FC Barcelona, they estimate a range between 40,000 and 45,000 spectators, relatively correct figures. although they could be better considering that the rival is Betis, a good team that plays good football, and that the last home game was on August 20.
Furthermore, this match comes after a national team break. But the Barça club already knows that the work to fill the Lluís Companys will be gradual. Many members still consider the transfer to Montjuïc difficult and there are areas of low visibility, such as the goals in the first tier.
That is why it is considered a good entry to exceed these 40,000 spectators. It was not achieved in the Joan Gamper trophy against Tottenham (35,224 spectators) or in the home debut against Cádiz (39,603 spectators). Today must be the day.
There is confidence in the entity that as the games go by and if the team achieves good results it will be increasingly easier to get good tickets. On Tuesday, for example, Xavi Hernández’s team debuts in the Champions League against Antwerp and it is a magnificent opportunity to see a full Lluís Companys.
From The club and also the coach insist on remembering that the support of the fans will be key to achieving success this season. We discover nothing if we remember that the effect of the public in Montjuïc is not the same as in a full Spotify Camp Nou. Iñigo Martínez recognized it in an interview with SPORT.
“It is not the same as jumping at the Camp Nou; for the opponent the game seems eternal and perhaps for the rivals it may be easier to play at Montjuïc. At the Camp Nou there is the atmosphere, the enormous stadium, the minutes are “They can go very long and that benefits Barça. Playing in Montjuïc may affect us a little,” he stated.
