Barcelona and the Rolling Stones have joined forces and the club’s kit will feature the band’s famous tongue and lips logo for next week’s Clasico against Real Madrid, the La Liga club announced on Thursday.
Music streaming service Spotify has sponsored Barcelona since the 2021/22 season (became the club’s main sponsor last season), and the club have previously had campaigns featuring Drake and Spanish singer Rosalia, but now rock fans can finally get some satisfaction.
