Capacity: why the figures differ
Wikidata (capacity statement P1083) and UEFA’s 2026-27 Champions League match data do not agree: 60,338 on one side, 60,704 on the other. The headline number here is the Wikidata one.
The Atlas lists every recorded figure with its source instead of choosing one silently. The Wikidata number is the general-reference value; UEFA figures describe the configuration used for its matches.
