avalanche of ticket requests for FC Barcelona-Wolfsburg

At nine in the morning, the process began on the club’s website and, as with the purchase of tickets for major concerts, it collapsed immediately. Some fans who wanted to get one of the prized tickets, which ranged from 11 to 26 euros, have had to wait more than an hour and a half.

The match was initially scheduled for April 23, but the club managed to advance it. The club requested a change of date last week, not only because it did not coincide with the celebration of Sant Jordi, but also given that Barça’s men’s team will play on April 24 at the Camp Nou against him Vallecano Ray and at least 48 hours between matches are required to recondition the field. It will finally be played on April 22 at 6.45 pm and the return will be a week later, on April 30, in German territory.

Raise the bet with a poker

Barça, record collectors, have won all their matches this year and aspire to surpass last year’s triplet. They have won the League and the Super Cup, the only trophy they missed last year, and are looking to revalidate the continental crown and cup.

One in four Barça members is a woman (26%), but last Wednesday there was a women’s thrashing on the pitch and in the stands. From the Montserrata 82-year-old contemporary of the pioneers who played that historic Christmas game in 1970, until the Julia, 4 years old, visiting the Camp Nou for the first time. Her parents immortalized the girl’s reactions with her mobile phone, with Barça’s painted cheeks, to tell her about a future she lived in a historic day. The day Barça played their first official women’s match with the public in their temple; the day he surpassed, not only the best Barça men’s entry this season, but also the record for attendance at a women’s match.

The interest in the match against Wolfsburg has shown that, far from being an anecdote, this first match at the Camp Nou was a further step in the unstoppable growth of Barça women, the engine of change in Spanish women’s football.
