Barcelona to Wear Away Kit in Manchester
Update: In a way returning the favor, Barcelona will not wear its home kit away against Manchester City tonight and instead play in away colors. Just as two weeks ago, this has been confirmed by the U19 team which has its encounter with City at 4PM. See pictures below and read our original post from the first leg further down.
Instead of wearing their sky blue home kit, Manchester City's players will enter the field later today in their unusual third jersey.
Although Manchester City's regular home uniform does not clash with Barcelona's in any way, the English club will make use of tonight's stage to promote its orange and purple third strip. This could be seen in the Youth League clash between the two teams in the afternoon.
