Between FC Barcelona, one of the biggest clubs in the world, and Coldplay, the British pop rock band, close ties have developed over the years. In nine days, on October 27, Barça will wear a special shirt for the Clasico on the Real Madrid pitch. After Drake in 2022 and Rolling Stone in 2023 in particular, the group led this summer by Hansi Flick will wear, thanks to the partnership with the music platform Spotify, a special tunic in reference to Coldplay.
In a press release, it was specified this Thursday that the proceeds from the sale of this collector’s shirt, also supported by the women’s team against Eibar on November 2, will go to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) to fight the Climate change in refugee camps in Uganda.
Since the arrival of Spotify as a partner, FC Barcelona has already distinguished itself with similar initiatives. The singers Rosalia and Karol G were also entitled to have their logo on the Barça shirt, in March 2023 and April 2024 respectively. In October 2022, the rapper Drake was the first artist to be so highlighted.
“Coldplay are the most listened to English group on Spotify in history,” indicates Barça in a press release. For the record, the emblematic song of the Coldplay group, “Viva la vida”, published in 2008, resonated in the Catalan locker room to celebrate the successes of the team led by Pep Guardiola and led by Lionel Messi, in particular, during the match to conquer the Champions League 2009.
The players then gathered in the central circle and began a wild sarabande to the sound of “Viva la Vida”. At the end of May 2023, it was again this title that accompanied the Blaugrana when they left their favorite stadium, the Camp Nou, before very long months of work.
The Englishmen’s tenth album “Moon Music” was released on October 4. It consists of 10 tracks including a song without a name but symbolized by a rainbow emoji.
Chris Martin’s band held four concerts in Barcelona in May 2023, also participating in a training session of the team, then led by Xavi. The British singer always carries a Catalan flag on stage, be it the senyera or the estelada, his independence version.
