Barcelona beat Leganes 5-0 on Thursday to progress in the Copa del Rey in front of the lowest Camp Nou crowd of the season.
Just 43,216 fans turned up, perhaps for two reasons. The 7pm kickoff midweek made it tough for people to make it from work, while the early rounds of the cup often draw less interest.
Previously, the lowest turnout this season had been for the 5-1 win against Real Valladolid in October, when 59,896 were present at Camp Nou.
The lowest crowd last season was 42,838 for the 3-0 win over Levante, while just 27,099 saw a 5-0 win over Elche in 2014-15.
The top five attendances at Camp Nou this season:
93,426 fans: Barca-Real Madrid (La Liga)
90,071 fans: Barca-Dortmund (Champions League)
86,141 fans: Barca-Inter (Champions League)
81,617 fans: Barca-Valencia (La Liga)
81,331 fans: Barca-Sevilla (La Liga)

People saying it’s more than most clubs - look the capacity of Camp Nou is 99354, their average attendance rate is 76104. That’s roughly 77 percent of the stadium. Now let’s look at the population of Barcelona - nearly 5.515 million people. So on average 1.47 percent of the population go watch bar as game. Now compare this to liverpool - capacity is 54,074, average attendance 53, 053 and their population is 552267. So 99 percent of the stadium is always occupied and around 10 percent of the city go attend their march. This shows how passionate Liverpool fans are and how the city as a whole

I mean it’s the Copa Del Rey, most big teams play their second string players. Well except for Barca, they’ve always fielded a strong team of their main 11. They did so this game which is just wierd to me.
