West Ham's Championship fixture against Portsmouth last weekend managed to draw a greater crowd than half of last night's Champions' League fixtures.

A grand total of 33,465 packed into the Boleyn Ground on Saturday afternoon to witness United's thrilling 4-3 win over Pompey - just 2,000 less than the Upton Park-based ground's capacity.

Meanwhile, in last night's Champions League fixtures, four of the eight games had lower attendances whilst at only two - Barcelona and Dortmund - were considerably larger gates recorded.

Elsehwere Porto and Chelsea managed to attract roughly the same number; the Blues recording a crowd of 33,820 - just 355 more supporters than at the Boleyn last weekend - for their 2-0 Group E win over Bayer Leverkusen.

The four clubs to draw lower gates were Olympiakos, Genk, Apoel FC and Viktoria Plzen.
