Another thrilling set of fixtures took place this week in Europe, with a number of the continent's most historic teams taking to the field between November 2 and November 6.

It should come as no surprise that Borussia Dortmund were able to draw a notable crowd when they faced Real Betis in the Champions League at Signal Iduna Park, but enormous crowds were also seen at Manchester United's Old Trafford for the hosts' 3-2 win against Roma.

Large crowds were also present at Atletico Madrid's Wanda Metropolitano to see Bayern Munich's 2-0 victory against the home side.

In fact, each of the 10 most attended games in Europe this week came in either the Champions League or the Europa League.

Here, FootballGroundGuide looks at the biggest football attendances recorded across Europe between November 2 and November 6, 2026.

Borussia Dortmund vs Real Betis at Signal Iduna Park tops Europe's attendance charts as Man United attract 73,747

Borussia Dortmund welcomed Betis to Signal Iduna Park on Wednesday, and a remarkable 81,365 fans were in attendance to witness BVB beating their Spanish opponents 2-1.

Man United supporters thought that they would lose against Roma on Tuesday in the Champions League, but 73,747 supporters saw Michael Carrick's side overturn a 2-0 deficit to win 3-2, with matchwinner Matheus Cunha jumping into the crowd.

Bayern Munich travelled to Atletico's Wanda Metropolitano and managed to earn a valuable three points, and a crowd of 69,821 were there to see the Bundesliga giants claim victory on Tuesday courtesy of goals form Lennart Karl and Konrad Laimer.

Coming in at number four, Benfica managed to defeat Lech Poznan 3-1 at home on Thursday in the Europa League, and the match drew 53,851 spectators to Estadio da Luz, though that was still short of the stadium's capacity of 65,000.

Barcelona are still in the process of renovating the famous Camp Nou, so it is understandable that only 52,662 fans were present at the ground to watch the team beat Aston Villa 3-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday, though the stadium will eventually house around 105,000 spectators.

The best of the rest in terms of numbers came at the San Siro on Thursday, when 49,372 people saw AC Milan lose 2-0 against visitors Ferencvaros in the Europa League, while Porto housed 49,190 fans inside Estadio do Dragao when they faced Napoli on Wednesday, losing 4-1.

RB Leipzig's home clash at Red Bull Arena against Manchester City on Wednesday attracted 45,228 spectators, though the hosts lost 3-2, while Galatasaray's RAMS Park welcomed 45,162 fans for their 2-0 victory against Stuttgart on Tuesday.

Last on this list was Celtic's game against Besiktas on Thursday at Celtic Park, with 44,394 attendees witnessing the hosts beat the visitors 3-2 in the Europa League.
