Barcelona became the latest European club to reveal their home kit for the upcoming season. As expected the new home jersey features the traditional Blaugrana colours (Red & Blue). However, the Catalan’s have gone back to their roots, as the checkered pattern which was used for this campaign has been replaced by the old fashioned stripes. On the very first look, Barcelona fans compared it to the treble-winning season. Bizarre Real Madrid 2020–21 Kit With Pink Stripes Leaked Online, Fans Disappointed With New Jersey Design (See Pics).
The kit pays tribute to one of the most successful period in club history. The jersey is reminiscent of the kit which Barcelona wore in the 2010-11 season under Pep Guardiola when they defeated Manchester United in UCL final at Wembley to complete the first treble in their history.

Speaking of Barcelona, the club are still fighting for the La Liga crown but it looks like a lost cause as Real Madrid need just one win from remaining two games to secure the title. However, the Catalans still have a chance of winning the Champions League, which begins in August. Quique Setien’s men will take on Napoli in Round of 16 second leg, with the tie balanced at 1-1.
