Inter Milan vs Como tops European attendance charts ahead of Man Utd and Barcelona

Inter Milan vs Como attracted the largest crowd of the day, with 77,593 spectators attending San Siro for the hosts’ 2-0 Serie A victory.

The official attendance included 1,545 travelling supporters, with the home faithful enjoying another impressive performance from Cristian Chivu’s side. Inter scored twice in the first half through Pio Esposito and Marcus Thuram to secure all three points before the international break.

Manchester United ranked second, with 74,149 supporters watching an extraordinary 4-4 Premier League draw against Aston Villa at Old Trafford. The visitors raced into a two-goal advantage inside the opening four minutes, before United recovered to level the contest by half-time.

Villa restored their two-goal cushion after the interval, but late strikes from Joshua Zirkzee and Patrick Dorgu salvaged a point for Michael Carrick’s side in front of another huge Old Trafford crowd.

Barcelona’s 2-1 victory over Atletico Madrid attracted the third-largest attendance, with 69,788 spectators at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano. Atletico initially took the lead through an early strike from Giuliano Simeone, but Fermin Lopez scored twice to complete Barcelona’s comeback.

Napoli vs Lazio was also among the most-attended fixtures, with approximately 47,000 spectators at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The two Italian sides ultimately shared the points in a 1-1 draw, although the reported crowd figure remains an estimate rather than an officially confirmed attendance.

Further down the rankings, FC Copenhagen welcomed 34,348 supporters to Parken Stadium for their 1-0 derby victory over Brondby. The match was briefly delayed by five minutes following fireworks, flares and heavy smoke from the away section.

English football featured three further times, with Brighton & Hove Albion attracting 31,629 for their 2-0 victory against Brentford at the Amex, while Ipswich Town welcomed 29,396 to Portman Road for their 2-1 defeat against AFC Bournemouth.

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool completed the top nine, with 25,194 supporters at Selhurst Park to watch the visitors claim a 3-1 victory. Alexis Mac Allister, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak scored for Liverpool, with Eddie Nketiah netting a late consolation.

Sunderland’s home fixture against Chelsea is another notable omission, as an official attendance figure for the Stadium of Light was not available. The Black Cats nevertheless enjoyed a memorable afternoon, defeating the visitors 1-0 thanks to Enzo Le Fee’s first-half goal.
