The logo will replace Spotify as part of the club's partnership with the music streaming service

Barcelona will wear Drake's logo on their shirt for Sunday's Clasico against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu. 

The usual Spotify sponsor will be replaced by the silhouette of an owl -- the logo of the Canadian singer’s brand. 

It is part of the sponsorship agreement with Spotify, the music streaming service. 

"One of the main ideas behind the alliance between FC Barcelona and Spotify is to bring football and music together in order to connect with new audiences around the world," Barça said in a statement. 

"As both are capable of bringing people together and exciting fans, for the first time, the men’s football team will enter the pitch for Sunday’s Clasico wearing a jersey featuring the logo of an internationally acclaimed artist -- rapper and singer Drake, winner of 4 Grammy awards and the first to surpass 50 billion streams on Spotify -- rather than their main partner’s logo." 

Barça add that "this type of exchange on the front of the jersey is scheduled to happen more as the season progresses."
