Spain allow fans in stadiums but not in Barcelona: explained

Spain's Minister of Culture and Sports has confirmed the fans' presence in the stands in the final La Liga games of the season.

Barcelona, however, as well as the other top 4 clubs (Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Sevilla) won't have any supporters due to the ongoing limitations due to the Covid pandemic in their regions.

Thus, zero fans will attend Barca's final home game of the season, on May 16 against Celta Vigo.

Mallorca, Villarreal, Elche, Celta Vigo, Valencia and Levante are allowed to have a maximum of 5,000 home fans in the stands for the remaining games of the season.
