The Catalan club's record attendance was set in this 1986 quarter-final meeting, which Barca won to progress to the last four under the management of Englishman Terry Venables. Back then, the Camp Nou had terracing, whereas now the capacity is under 100,000 due to all-seater arrangements. This attendance figure has been equalled in the European Cup on a number of occasions by Barca's great rivals Real Madrid.
A year after 135,000 fans turned up to set Benfica's attendance record for a match against domestic rivals Porto, a huge crowd at the old Stadium of Light watched their team reach the 1988 European Cup final at the expense of 1986 champions, Romanian club Steaua.
