FC Barcelona and their supporters are eagerly counting down to Sunday’s El Clasico, a match in which the team could be crowned champions against their eternal rivals, Real Madrid.
It would mark an unprecedented occasion and could deliver a historic night if they manage to secure at least a point at the Spotify Camp Nou – the first Clasico at the stadium in three years.
Huge revenue expected
The excitement surrounding the fixture matches the magnitude of the occasion, and so too does the expected revenue, with Barcelona anticipating a huge financial return for such a special date.
Indeed, according to Catalunya Radio (h/t SPORT), projected ticket revenue for the Clasico on Sunday is expected to range between €13 million and €15 million.
That would represent an all-time record for a stadium still undergoing renovation and currently limited to a capacity of 62,000 spectators.
The figures offer a glimpse of the potential the venue could reach once fully completed, with room for 100,000 fans.
