Decibel data revealed for United 2 Barcelona 1
The noise that followed Antony’s winner – and indeed the final whistle – will live long in the memories of match-going fans and we can confirm it was our third loudest Old Trafford match of the season.
The atmosphere is measured throughout all home games and this produces an average decibel level per fixture. The 2-1 win over Barcelona came in at 94.7dB, displacing the Manchester derby victory of the same scoreline in third place on our chart for 2022/23.
The crucial Premier League wins over Arsenal and Liverpool remain in second and first place respectively, which is perhaps due to the fact United took first-half leads in both games and the average noise level was therefore a little higher.
Here are our top five loudest Old Trafford matches this season:
5: United 2 Leeds 2 = 92.4dB
4: United 2 Manchester City 1 = 94.3dB
3: United 2 Barcelona 1 = 94.7dB
2: United 3 Arsenal 1 = 94.9dB
1: United 2 Liverpool 1 = 95.9dB
