Barcelona's attempt to increase the number of fans before the crucial second leg against Atletico has failed.
Idman.Biz reports that although the club management hoped to obtain a "1C" license to increase the stadium capacity to 62,000 people, the Barcelona City Council unexpectedly refused to grant this permission.
The lack of any clear explanation from the Council has caused great dissatisfaction and shock within the club.
However, the "Catalans" do not intend to give up. Despite the small number of stands in the stadium, the club management has resorted to a new technological solution to bring the atmosphere to its peak. During the game, pilot tests of a special animated tribune system will be conducted at the stadium.
Thanks to this innovation, the atmosphere created by the fans will be enhanced with visual effects. Barcelona will try to create the necessary atmosphere to make a magnificent comeback against Atletico with this visual and acoustic pressure.
