Mick Jagger and Robert Lewandowski on the same side? That’s right, Barcelona have teamed up with the Rolling Stones.
Barca will sport the Rolling Stones’ iconic tongue and lips logo on their shirt when they play Real Madrid in El Clasico on 28 October.
Audio streaming service Spotify have sponsored Barcelona since the start of 2021-22.
“We’re huge football fans and honoured,” the Rolling Stones said in a statement.
“We’ll be cheering on the players on the pitch as well as fans around the world who will be tuning in to watch this iconic match.”
Barcelona have agreed to the deal with the legendary British rock band to celebrate the release of their new album ‘Hackney Diamonds’ when Real visit the Estadio Lluis Companys.
Barcelona women will also wear a shirt emblazoned with the logo when they host Sevilla in a Liga F fixture at Estadi Johan Cruyff on 5 November.
“Our collaboration with Spotify has taken things to the next level,” said Juli Guiu, FC Barcelona Marketing Area Vice-president.
“Bringing together two icons – The Rolling Stones logo and the Barça jersey – is a special moment for our fans around the world.
“Music and football form a special partnership with a long future ahead of them and we are happy to add another chapter to the story.”
Spanish champions Barcelona sit third in La Liga after nine games of the 2023-24 campaign, trailing leaders Real Madrid by three points.
