Barcelona will lock horns with Manchester United in one of the most highly-anticipated matches in European competitions this season later tonight at Spotify Camp Nou.
The two behemoths might not be playing in the UEFA Champions League, but their meeting is generating a crazy amount of excitement among both sets of fans as well as neutrals.
Barcelona are currently on a 16-game unbeaten run across all competitions, while Manchester United have lost just once in their previous 17 matches in all competitions. So, it promises to be an exciting contest between two teams that are hitting their strides this season.
And, according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are expecting to pocket around €3-4 million from tonight’s match against Manchester United.
As per the report, around 4,255 Manchester United supporters have bought tickets which cost €45, and will be present at Camp Nou, the arena where the Red Devils won the European title back in 1999.
More fans could be expected with several members giving their season tickets to others. In order to avoid a situation like the game against Eintracht Frankfurt last season, Barça have taken measures and have made those members fill in forms for the transfer of season tickets for the match.
By yesterday afternoon, as many as 22,278 season tickets had been sold by members, and forms were filled out.
In all, it is claimed that the collection from the game against Manchester United tonight could be around €3-4 million, which will be a boost for Barcelona, who missed out on a good chunk of income due to their early elimination from the Champions League.
