More than 91,000 fans turned out at the Camp Nou in late August as City and our Catalan hosts fought out a hugely entertaining 3-3 draw.
All proceeds from the game went towards helping fund ALS research at the Luzón Foundation in support of former Barcelona goalkeeper and coach Juan Carlos Unzué, who was diagnosed with the incurable degenerative neurological condition just over two years ago.
The disease sees patients suffer a progressive loss of function, with their life prognosis shortened to four to six years.
And official figures revealed today confirmed that altogether €4,362,872 was raised from ticket sales from the match to help boost further research into the condition.
After the friendly, City boss Pep Guardiola said it had been an enormous privilege for the Club to take part in such a worthwhile and important occasion.
“It has been a great honour being here. It’s been a successful day,” Pep said. “Thanks to all the people who came because they contributed to the cause.
“The artist here is Unzué, who made this possible, because of his stubbornness and all his people pushing and pushing to do it.”
Manchester City and FC Barcelona remain committed to the fight against ALS.
