Barcelona beat rival Real Madrid  8-3 on aggregate to reach the semi-finals, and set a new world record in the process. 

 

A WORLD RECORD attendance of 91,553 fans watched the game at the Nou Camp, with Barca scoring 5 goals against their arch rivals, securing a 5-2 win on the night under the direction of French Referee Stephanie Frappart, 3 times IFFHS World’s Best Referee of the year !
