Barcelona struggled to a 2-2 draw with United in Thursday’s action-packed first leg, which saw them smash the previous record attendance of 80,465 fans who watched Tottenham Hotspur when they hosted Gent at Wembley Stadium in February 2017.
Barcelona is also the current record holder for crowd attendance in the Champions League, since 115,500 people attended the first leg of the quarter-final match once morest Paris Saint-Germain in the 1994-1995 season.
