Barcelona to feature South American pop sensation on shirt for El Clasico clash v Real Madrid
Karol G will play her part in El Clasico on April 21
Barcelona will feature another pop sensation on their shirt for the upcoming El Clasico clash with Real Madrid as they continue to make the most of their partnership with Spotify.
A feature of that partnership has been seeing artists featured on the front of Barcelona’s shirt during LaLiga Clasico matches against Real and, shortly after the kick-off time has been confirmed for the big game, so has the artist.
The latest clash between the two Spanish heavyweights will take place on Sunday April 21, which will then leave only seven games remaining in the league campaign.
Real currently hold an eight-point lead over Barcelona, who sit third in the table behind a Girino side in second who are still flying high.

And ahead of the big clash at The Bernabeu next month, Barca have announced they will be wearing Colombian artist Karol G on the front of their shirt, as confirmed by Sport.
The 33-year-old from Medellin is one of the biggest-selling in the world and will follow on from the Rolling Stones, Drake and Rosalia as artists to have their logos featured on the front of the shirt.
It is not yet clear which logo or album art will appear, but she will be the first Latino artist to be featured.
