La Liga (Spain) clubs average attendance 2018/19 FB Barcelona was the team that received most live spectators during the 2017/18 season, with over 65.8 thousand fans. Real Madrid followed second with a very similar result, amounting to over 65.6 thousand spectators in 2017/18. The Spanish top division football – commonly known as La Liga among fans – is the Spanish 20-team league system followed by millions in Spain and other countries. Many fans flock into stadiums when a game is on, even though the attendance of live matches has been in decline in the past years.
A popular phenomenon on television too

Football is quite an event in Spain with broadcast football games traditionally holding the first positions of audience rankings in the Mediterranean country. In fact, football games occupied three of the ten most watched broadcasts in Spain in May 2019, with the Copa del Rey final Valencia vs. Barcelona leading the list with 6.43 million viewers. The popularity of football in Spain can also be sensed when looking at the annual audience list, which, in 2018, was taken up by ten football game broadcasts, partly owing to the FIFA World Cup that took place that year.


The Spanish Liga

Spaniards are passionate about football, a sport that is often conceived as much more than just an entertainment – it revolves around strong feelings and emotion. It will then come as no surprise that some Spanish football teams not only made the global list of best paid players, but also topped it with its two flagship clubs Barcelona and Real Madrid. The Football Club Barcelona led the list of highest salaries per player in La Liga at 13.76 million U.S. dollars in 2017/18. Real Madrid ranked second, with its average player earning approximately 10.64 million U.S. dollars that year.
