FC Barcelona will have a fourth kit this season that honours history and art. The club has unveiled its new official strip that heralds one of the most memorable masterpieces of contemporary Barça legacy, the 3-0 win at the Bernabéu on 19 November 2005.
That night, which happened 20 years ago today, the men’s first team beat their eternal rival in a clash in which they gave the world a true masterclass of football. It was one of the finest Clásicos in recent history and inspired the team toward a veritable change of cycle on the threshold of what would go on to be the most golden era in blaugrana history.
The new shirt features the Barça stripes in a vertical but seemingly unstructured manner, and that is not a gratuitous detail. The lines are inspired by the trajectory of the ball toward each of the three goals scored that night, the first by Eto'o and the next two the work of Ronaldinho. Inside the collar, three circles highlight the minutes in which those goals were scored: the 14th, 58th and 77th. And on the outside, the Catalan flag completes the design. The shorts are maroon with a blue stripe on the side of each leg.

What many fans dont understand is that Electric Classico is more than just a football. Sometimes, winning Classico feels better than titles. True Real Madrid fans understand this. Fake fans and EPL won't get it.
