Barcelona team up with SpotifyRelease shirt for El Clasico matchJersey features rapper Travis ScottFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱Barcelona/SpotifyWHAT HAPPENED?
The global audio streaming service has worked together with Barcelona once again for their 'sixth jersey takeover', with this Blaugrana shirt featuring the Cactus Jack logo – the record label founded by Scott in 2017. Barca players will wear this top, which will see Scott's logo replace the usual Spotify sponsor one, for El Clasico on May 11 as Hansi Flick's side host Los Blancos in a crunch La Liga encounter.

Off the pitch, Spotify's partnership with Barcelona provides a huge source of income for the Catalan outfit. Without it, they would be in even more dire financial straits. And on the pitch, this upcoming El Clasico has a huge amount riding on it, as if it goes Barcelona's way, the league title will virtually be theirs. But a defeat will send this title race to the wire.
Barcelona/SpotifyWHAT SCOTT SAID
The singer, songwriter, and record producer said: “El Clásico is a moment the whole world taps into. Teaming up with Spotify and FC Barcelona lets me merge my universe with theirs. This wasn’t just about throwing Cactus Jack on a jersey. It’s about building something that blurs the line between sound and sport. Being the first artist to perform in Barcelona as part of this collaboration and sharing that moment with my fans just takes it to another level.”
Barca right-back Jules Kounde added: “As a long-time Travis listener and someone who cares about style, this collaboration with Spotify is powerful. Seeing the Cactus Jack logo on our jersey and being part of a drop that blends football with fashion and music is something that I’m hugely inspired by and I’m proud to be part of a club that embraces that.”
