Image: Barcelona’s special edition jersey for Real Madrid clash | OneFootball

A first image of the jersey set to be made use of by La Liga champions Barcelona in their upcoming showdown with arch rivals Real Madrid has been unveiled online.

Barcelona have of course long been taking to the pitch in El Clásico donning specialised shirts.

Specifically, the Blaugrana, as part of their sponsorship deal with Spotify, have seen the names and logos of some of the world’s most high-profile musical artists emblazoned across their kits.

To date, the likes of Drake, Coldplay and The Rolling Stones have all taken their place front and centre in Spanish football’s biggest fixture.

And as alluded to above, next month’s first Clásico of the 2025/26 term will prove no different.

This time round, it is Ed Sheeran who will be afforded the honour of taking his place on Barcelona’s jersey.

An early mock-up of the expected design of the shirt in question has already been provided, as showcased below, courtesy of the reliable ‘memorabilia1899’ on ‘X’:
