Nike FC Barcelona 22-23 Home Kit - Long-Sleeve Authentic Version

7 August 2022: Earlier today, FC Barcelona faced Pumas UNAM in the Joan Gamper Trophy (6-0). Interestingly, French international Ousmane Dembélé and defender Gerard Piqué wore the FC Barcelona 2022-2023 home jersey with long sleeves. Let us find out more.
Ousmane Dembélé & Gerard Piqué Wear Long-Sleeve FC Barcelona Kits
Dembélé played one half today before being substituted for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Interestingly, Dembélé & Piqué decided to wear a long-sleeve football shirt today with temperatures reaching over 30 degrees.
Most players prefer wearing short sleeves in the heat, but it is remarkable that Ousmane Dembélé and Gerard Piqué decided to wear a traditional long-sleeve football shirt.
Nike does not sell long-sleeve FC Barcelona kits
It is quite a letdown for FC Barcelona supporters that Nike does not offer long-sleeve football shirts. As a result, Ousmane Dembélé's custom long-sleeve kit will become a sought-after collectors item.
A picture of Piqué perfectly illustrates how the Dri-Fit ADV long sleeves have been custom made for the players.
