Through a major collaboration between Barcelona and Spotify, after the global music giant became one of the Spanish club's official sponsors, British singer Ed Sheeran released his new album, "Play," which will feature the album's title on the front of Barcelona's El Clásico shirt.

This collaboration between the British singer and the Spanish giant was officially finalized due to a sponsorship deal between Barcelona and Spotify, on which the British musician is known to receive 92 million annual streams.

The word ‘Play’ across the front of the shirt highlights the power of music to transcend boundaries and unite people. Barça is known for its youthful spirit and expressive style of play, shaped by talents nurtured in La Masia. Ed Sheeran’s love for football and Barcelona makes this collaboration all the more authentic, rooted in the belief that creativity, music, and football can inspire people both on and off the pitch.

Barcelona said in their official statment.

Ahead of the big game, Spotify's popular Barça Matchday playlist is getting a special edition. Curated by none other than Ed Sheeran, this unique playlist is designed to energize the team and its supporters, setting the perfect tone for the match.
