It comes just a week after Barcelona and Real Madrid attracted the biggest crowd to a women’s club football match to date.

A record 91,553 spectators turned out to watch Barca thrash Madrid 5-2 and seal their place in the Champions League last four.

Sports officials say the figure is an all-time fan attendance record for a Uefa women’s football game.

It is also thought to be the highest crowd turnout for a men’s or women’s club football fixture in Europe this season.

Barca confirmed they had flogged the first 50,000 tickets for their April 22 clash with Wolfsburg on their web site.

These went on sale exclusively to the Catalan club’s members on Monday.

And earlier today the club said tickets which went on general sale this morning had sold out by this afternoon.

Uefa say a total of 180,648 fans attended the eight quarter-finals ties which also involved Arsenal, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon.
