Barcelona to Wear Coldplay Co-branded Kit in First Leg of El Clásico; Previous Co-branded Kits Yielded One Win and Three Losses Against Real Madrid

In the summer of 2022, Barcelona entered into a partnership with the renowned music platform Spotify. Starting from the 2022-23 season, Barcelona will wear co-branded kits featuring special musicians, bands, or music albums during El Clásicos. From the 2022-23 season to the 2023-24 season, Barcelona has worn co-branded kits with Drake, Rosalía, The Rolling Stones, and Karol G during El Clásicos. However, in these four El Clásico matches, Barcelona won only one and lost three. The sole victory was on March 20, 2023, when Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 2-1 at home.

According to reports by European media outlets such as Sport and GOAL, in the first leg of the Spanish Clásico for the 2024-25 La Liga season, Barcelona will wear a co-branded kit with the famous British band Coldplay. The first leg of this season’s Spanish Clásico is scheduled for October 28 at 1:00 AM, with Barcelona traveling to the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium to face Real Madrid.

In the first six rounds of this season’s La Liga, Barcelona has won all six games, securing 18 points and leading the league table strongly. Meanwhile, Lewandowski and Yamal lead the scoring and assist charts, respectively. In contrast, defending champions Real Madrid have accumulated 14 points from four wins and two draws, ranking second in the league table. However, it’s worth noting that Barcelona’s goalkeeper Ter Stegen suffered a serious injury in the match against Villarreal, ending his season prematurely, which is a significant blow to Barcelona.

As absolute title contenders in La Liga, the El Clásico between Barcelona and Real Madrid often directly influences the league’s championship race. As we approach the first leg of this season’s El Clásico, whether Coldplay will bring good luck to Barcelona remains to be seen.
