JAKARTA Barcelona will wear a tribute jersey for musician Drake in the El Clasico match against Real Madrid on Sunday.

This assurance was announced by Barcelona through their social media on Friday, October 14. The honor was in the form of a bird logo on the front of the Blaugrana costume.

The front of the La Liga giant uniform should be displayed by the Spotify logo which is their main sponsor.

Namun, perusahaan streaming audio itu memutuskan mengganti logo mereka dengan logo hantu khas rapper Kanada itu demi menghormati pencapaiannya menjadi arti pertama yang mencapai 50 juta streaming di Spotify.

"It's like a dream, but the reality is so," Drake, 35, wrote on his Instagram account, reported by BBC Sport.

The jersey will only be worn during the match against host Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. As for Barca's warm-up session, it will still be wearing a Spotify logo costume.

Not only the front of the uniform which is dedicated to Drake. The back of the Blaugrana jersey will also have the words Drake 50'.

Barcelona are currently still at the top of the La Liga standings with a collection of 22 points, the same as Madrid collected who filled second place.

However, the visitors came up with a disappointing result in the European Champions League. They just got a draw against Inter Milan this middle of the week.

Adding only one point made Xavi Hernandez's team threatened to run aground in the group round for the second season in a row. If Inter win against Viktoria Plzen in the next match then they will definitely go to the Europa League.
