On Pitch: Barcelona Debut Spectacular 19-20 Away Kit
Following up the game against Chelsea earlier this week, Barcelona played the second (and final) match of their quick tour to Japan today. Playing against Andrés Iniesta's Vissel Kobe, the club saw it fit to give the rather spectacular new away kit a try in what ended in a 2-0 win for the guests.
Interestingly, Barcelona opted for the yellow shorts, which seem to be the primary option as opposed to the blue ones that are also available. Check out some of the best pictures from the game below.
