    Summary: Let \(\Omega\) be a general, possibly non-smooth, bounded domain of \(\mathbb{R}^N\), \(N\geq 3\). Let \(2^*=2N/(N-2)\) be the critical Sobolev exponent. We study the following variational problem \[ S^*_\varepsilon= \sup\left\{\int_\Omega|u|^{2^*-\varepsilon}dx:\int_\Omega|\nabla u|^2dx\leq 1,\;u=0\text{ on } \partial\Omega\right\} \] investigating its asymptotic behavior as \(\varepsilon\) goes to zero, by means of \(\Gamma^+\)-convergence techniques. We also show that sequences of maximizers \(u_\varepsilon\) concentrate energy at one point \(x_0\in \overline\Omega\).
