Barcelona are playing the Clásico against Real Madrid with the logo of the Colombian singer on their shirt.
The financial troubles facing Barcelona in the Joan Laporta era have forced the Catalan club to explore a number of revenue streams. One of these has seen Barça partnering with music streaming site Spotify, which in return for the sponsorship money, has requested the promotion of certain artists through the team managed by Xavi Hernández.
For Sunday’s Clásico, Barcelona are replaceing the Spotify logo with a white heart of thorns at the center of the jersey, featuring the name of Colombian singer Karol G.
Last season, the Catalan team wore a jersey featuring an owl, the emblem of Canadian artist Drake, which saw the club bank a significant amount to help alleviate its financial woes. In the second Clásico of that season, Spanish artist Rosalía had her ‘Motomami’ theme on the Barcelona uniforms.
This season, Barcelona’s kit has also featured the traditional tongue logo that distinctly identifies legendary British band ‘The Rolling Stones,’ during a match held at Montjuic.
Who is Karol G?
Carolina Giraldo Navarro, popularly known as ‘Karol G,’ is a Colombian singer from Medellín. She is one of the leading reggaeton and urban artists. In 2018, her career took off after she won the Grammy Award for ‘Best New Artist’ of the year. Collaborations with major artists like Bad Bunny and Shakira have made her a rising star.

LaLiga president tweets articles showing goal-line technology can make mistakes 1 min ago / autty LaLiga came under fire for during Sunday's El Clasico showdown between Barcelona and Real Madrid for having no goal-line technology and president Javier Tebas has hit back.  The clash at the Bernabeu was level at 1-1 when Lamine Yamal thought he had given the Catalans the lead with a flick from a corner. His effort looked to have beat goalkeeper Andriy Lunin before he managed to palm it away from the goal. However, the referee waved play on and the VAR couldn't confirm if it had indeed crossed the line. Leagues such as the Premier League now have the technology to sort such incidents in seconds with officials receiving a signal on their watch telling them whether it is a goal or not. Yet there is no such technology in the Spanish top flight, with El Larguero reporting that La Liga president Javier Tebas does not want to pay the '£2.6 million' it costs. Fans couldn't believe that Yamal's strike wasn't given as a goal but Tebas quickly defended his league's lack of tech. The LaLiga president posted a series of articles about moments where goal-line technology has made mistakes.
