FC Barcelona is expressing concern over the low attendances at the Montjuic Stadium, as reported by AS. The club's top officials, led by president Joan Laporta, are growing worried about the lack of fan engagement with the first team when playing at the stadium. Despite a strong performance in their recent 4-0 victory against Getafe, only 36,803 spectators were in attendance, marking the third-lowest turnout of the season.
Barcelona's head coach, Xavi Hernandez, remains optimistic about their chances in the La Liga title race, despite trailing behind rivals Real Madrid. The team's convincing win over Getafe was a rare display of dominance, with fans witnessing a four-goal margin victory for the first time since September.
Efforts were made to boost attendance for the Getafe match, including a 40% discount promotion and a more favorable kickoff time. However, factors such as inclement weather and other commitments may have deterred some supporters from attending.
As the season progresses, Barcelona faces crucial matches in both La Liga and the Champions League. The upcoming clash against Napoli in the Champions League last 16 will be a pivotal moment for the team. A strong show of support from fans could make a significant difference in the outcome of these important fixtures.
The club's management is keen to address the disconnect between fans and the team at the Montjuic Stadium, recognizing the impact of fan attendance on the team's performance. With key matches on the horizon, Barcelona is hopeful that fan support will play a crucial role in their pursuit of success this season.
