FC Barcelona to wear Drake-themed jerseys for El Clasico match thanks to Spotify
FC Barcelona will sport Drake's OVO owl logo on its jerseys for the El Clásico matchup against Real Madrid on Sunday, according to the team.
The move is in conjunction with Barcelona's shirt sponsor Spotify, which is honoring the rapper for becoming the first artist on the platform with more than 50 billion streams.
"On October 16, instead of seeing the world's most popular audio streaming subscription service logo on the front of the Barça jersey, those watching the game against Real Madrid will see the silhouette of an owl — the logo of the Canadian singer's brand," Barcelona said in a statement.
Drake also announced the move in a post on social media, saying: "This doesn't feel real but it is."
As for the game itself, Barcelona and Real Madrid enter the match at the Santiago Bernabéu level atop the Spanish league with 22 points apiece.
Winning La Liga is likely to be the biggest achievement Barcelona can reach this season. The club looks set for a costly exit from the Champions League after an eventful 3-3 draw with Inter Milan this week.
