Barcelona-Atletico Madrid expected to have 100% attendance at Camp Nou, final confirmation pending

On Sunday, Barcelona have the opportunity to overtake Atletico Madrid on the La Liga table after a strong fight-back in recent weeks. The Catalans are only a point behind Diego Simeone’s side, and a win would place them in the top four.

The game will take place at Camp Nou, and needless to say, Xavi’s men will look to use the home advantage to the maximum. After all, it is the team’s first game at home in nearly two months.

According to reports from Mundo Deportivo, the Blaugranas have received another confidence boost. Camp Nou is expected to return to 100% capacity for the mega clash. The final confirmation from the Government of Catalunya is still pending, but they are likely to give a green light to the club.

Earlier this season, the capacity of seating had been reduced to 70% owing to COVID restrictions. Now, with a full stadium, the team will be more motivated than ever to put up a fighting display.

This would also mean that Barcelona can hope for filled stands for their crucial game against Napoli later this month, even though the Naples outfit might not receive the same privilege.
