Following their previous collaborations with artists Rosalia and Drake, Spanish giants Barcelona are reportedly looking to sport Rolling Stones on their jerseys for their upcoming El Clásico against Real Madrid. The La Liga 2023-24 match between arch-rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid will take place at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on October 29, which will also be the first clash between the two Spanish giants this season.
The match between the Catalan giants and Los Blancos will be hosted by the Blaiugrana at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium as the iconic home stadium of Barcelona, Camp Nou is undergoing a major redevelopment before being fully completed in March 2026.

According to a report by RAC 1, Barcelona will don a special jersey bearing the legendary rock band, Rolling Stones' image at the front for the upcoming El Clasico against Real Madrid in October. Barca's main shirt sponsor Spotify agreed on a deal with the Spanish club to wear shirts depicting logos and symbols of famous music artists.
In October last year, Barcelona players donned the jersey with Drake's popular OVO logo for the first El Clásico of the 2022-23 season. Later, the Xavi-led side wore the shirts sporting Spanish singer and songwriter Rosalía’s album, ‘Motomami’ for the second clash of the season against Real Madrid in March this year.
Rolling Stones' new album Hackneys Diamonds is scheduled for a world release on October 20, a week before the game, and both Barcelona and Spotify are expected to make the most out of it. Although an official announcement is yet to be made, Barca and the band are reportedly close to finalising the deal.
