A modern maroon and blue trim, reflective Barca badge and the sponsor’s bright Spotify logo give the shirt a unique look.
The Nike designed kit is also the most expensive to buy in the world direct from the club’s store.
The shirt comes in at a whopping £160.
Barca fans can buy the “advanced tech” version that is made from Nike’s best quality material to offer improved “mobility, breathability and ventilation” for £126.
By adding the Champions League logo on the sleeve and a player’s name and number on the back, the cost rises by £34.
The price stunned fans, with one saying: “That’s crazy. For that price, I hope it comes with a trophy.”
Another added: “These kits should be more affordable.”
Despite the price, the kit has flown off the shelves and is already sold out.

In 2013/14 they won the Supercopa de Espana and seven years later it was the Copa del Rey.
