Barcelona

In the Santiago Bernabéu and the Nou Camp, Spain boast two of the most iconic football stadiums anywhere in the world. Arguably only Anfield and Old Trafford are as well known and revered as the grounds that belong to the two Spanish giants. The home of FC Barcelona is the largest capacity football stadium in Spain, able to hold just under 100,000 spectators for the Blaugrana’s games. It is the second largest soccer stadium in the world, missing out to Pyongyang’s Rungrado May Day Stadium that can hold a phenomenal 150,000 people. Then again it is in North Korea, so it’s possible it can only hold one person and there’s just loads of mirrors to make it look massive. As well as hosting Barca’s matches the Nou Camp has also been used to host international matches for the 1982 FIFA World Cup Final as well as the football matches for the 1992 Summer Olympic Games. It has held two UEFA Champions League finals ten years apart. The first saw Milan beat Steaua București in 1989, whilst the second saw Manchester United score two goals in stoppage time at the end of the game to overturn Bayern Munich’s 1-0 lead. As well as hosting matches for the 1982 World Cup the ground was also used to host the opening ceremony for the competition.
