Barcelona request to pay tribute to the victims
According to a statement from the club, this homage is possible thanks to a request from the club which was exceptionally approved by the Spanish Football Federation.
The players will also wear the phrase #TotsSomBarcelona, #WeAreAllBarcelona, on the front of their shirts, a move that was authorised by LaLiga. The slogan will be placed between the club badge and the logo of the kit manufacturer.
