The much-anticipated clash of El Clasico is nearly here, where renowned Spanish clubs Barcelona and Real Madrid face off in La Liga.
This upcoming match on October 26th promises something special, as Barcelona will incorporate a splash of ‘Yellow’ into their uniforms.
As part of their collaboration with Spotify, the team will don jerseys featuring a special Coldplay logo for both the Clasico and the La Liga Femenino match against Eibar on November 2.
Currently, Barcelona leads Real Madrid by a narrow three-point margin in the men’s league standings. If Barca were to falter against Sevilla this weekend and Madrid secures a win against Celta Vigo, the teams could enter this highly-anticipated match even on points.
Coinciding with this event, Coldplay is set to release their tenth album titled Moon Music, marking another facet of their collaboration with Barcelona.

This isn’t the first partnership between the iconic band and the football club; Coldplay’s anthem Viva La Vida became popular during Barcelona’s successful 2008-09 season when they won their first treble, led by Pep Guardiola.
Barcelona has also collaborated with other musical legends like The Rolling Stones and Drake in previous initiatives.
From October 18, fans can purchase a Coldplay-themed replica jersey, but only 1,899 of these will be available, honoring the year the club was established.
