Barcelona unveil new special jersey for the upcoming El Clasico on 10th April

It has now been officially declared that the second El Clasico of the 2020-21 season will be played on 10th April. Real Madrid will be the host for the game on Matchday 30.

The match will kickoff at 12:30 am IST (Sunday, 11th April). It will be a late-night kickoff to allow all the fans around the globe to get a taste of the biggest game in club football.

Barcelona has now unveiled a new special jersey for the El Clasico.

The shirt is being launched under the motto ‘Una samarreta ens agermana’, which means- ‘One shirt unites us’. The colour scheme of the jersey, say the club, aims to unite the Barça fans’ pride in the club and its identity, with its roots in Catalonia. The kit is also made entirely out of 100% recycled polyester, which aims to honour the club’s commitment to sustainability.

Former Barcelona captain Carles Puyol first unveiled it in an exclusive advert back in January. In the kit’s presentation video, Carles Puyol also shared a message, that said: “If you need reasons to give it your all in times as hard as this, don’t look outside of yourself. Those reasons are within each of us.”

There has been many rumours that Lionel Messi will be leaving Barcelona in the summer so this can be his last El Clasico, which adds an extra importance to this fixture.
