The first match I ever saw at Camp Nou was Barca v Madrid. An experience I’ll never forget. I hope to get to the other stadiums one day.
Definitely agree with the first three but would pick Wembley over either of the last two personally.
Emirates and Old Trafford are two of the most soulless places to watch football. Totally corporate and lacking in atmosphere. You’d have done better to pick St Etienne’s Geoffroy Guichard, Valencia’s Mestalla, Dotrmund’s Westfalenstadion or Liverpool’s Anfield, all of which will give you a proper FOOTBALL atmosphere. Looks like the person who wrote this article knows very little about actually attending football matches.
