BARCELONA PLAYERS TO WEAR JERSEYS WRITTEN IN CHINESE NAME AGAINST REAL MADRID
Written by thrilliant on February 6, 2019
Barcelona players will have their names written in Chinese above their number, for Wednesday’s El Clasico at the Nou Camp, the UK Mirror reports.
The Spanish champions have taken the step, to celebrate the Chinese New Year.
It is also part of Barca’s strategy to buy into the Asian market, as they will travel to China and Japan in the summer to meet their fans.
If Lionel Messi’s name will be written in Chinese remains to be seen.
Barca has named the Argentine superstar in their squad for the semi-final first leg, but will “wait until the last moment” to decide if he takes to the field.
