England's men took on Andorra in the La Liga Stadium on Saturday afternoon, seeing 6,945 England fans make the trip for the World Cup qualifier. 4 The RDCE Stadium looked empty as England played Andorra Credit: Getty 4 England's stars had few fans cheering them on Credit: PA 4 Sparse supporters were dotted around the stands Credit: Getty The RCDE stadium, home of Spanish side Espanyol, looked noticeably empty during the match between England's men and Andorra. Sparse pockets of fans spread across the stands in Barcelona with just shy of 7,000 tickets sold to England fans for the match inside the 40,000-seat stadium. That is just half of the 14,000 fans that piled into the same stadium to watch England Women take on Spain in the Nations League on Tuesday - a match the Lionesses ultimately lost 2-1 as they prepare for this summer's Euros. Fans online were quick to notice how empty the stadium looked, reacting on social media.

Andorra are moving into a new stadium in the town of Encamp which hosts 5,600 fans, but the ground wasn't ready in time for this fixture to be arranged there.
