The Battle of the Fans: Barça vs. PSG
The anticipation is building for the second leg of the quarterfinals between Barça and PSG at the Estadi Olímpic. The clash scheduled for Tuesday, the 16th at 9:00 p.m., is set to be a full house, reminiscent of the sold-out match against Naples earlier this season. With a capacity of 50,301 seats, the Estadi Olímpic is expected to be buzzing with excitement once again as fans gear up for a showdown of epic proportions.
Barça-PSG promises to be a match filled with intense emotions, a spectacle that no football fan would want to miss. PSG supporters have already secured 3,000 tickets to rally behind Luis Enrique’s team at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys.
However, the plot thickens as The Ultras Paris collective managed to secure an additional 200 tickets in a last-minute move, surpassing the initially allocated 2,800 seats for rival fans. The unexpected development, as reported by Le Parisien, adds an element of intrigue to the upcoming match.
