Barcelona will wear Drake's OVO owl on their jersey against Real Madrid – Here is why

Barcelona's kits will look different in El Clasico against Real Madrid this Sunday. Instead of featuring the logo of their current commercial sponsor Spotify, they'll switch to the famous OVO owl from singer Drake. 

Why Barcelona has an owl on their jersey?

Confusing, isn't it? To be clear, Barcelona hasn't thrown away their multimillion, lever-pulling deal with Spotify. In fact, the idea of adorning the blaugrana jerseys with the rapper branding came from the very own music streaming service to celebrate the artist's success on the platform.

Preview: Liverpool-Man City a chance for Núñez to show he can rival Haaland

MANCHESTER, England - Both Manchester City and Liverpool spent big to revamp their striker department in the close season, with Erling Haaland and Darwin Núñez tipped to be rivals atop the goalscoring charts, but so far it has been no contest.

City's capture of Haaland and Liverpool's addition of Núñez represented a style shift for both, focusing their forward lines around a central striker, as last season's title rivals tried something different.

Messi, Pogba and Ronaldinho star in Pepsi's ‘Nutmeg Royale’ ahead of the World Cup

Pepsi is not an official sponsor of the 2022 FIFA World Cup — that position belongs to eternal rival Coca-Cola. But a smart way to save money while cashing in on the global phenomenon is by associating with the event in more creative ways — like by getting Lionel Messi, Paul Pogba, Ronaldinho, Fabrizio Romano, RECEBA!!! and Kaljit Atwal to sell your products in a place that vaguely looks like Qatar but isn't.

Collectors swarm as ball from Maradona's ‘Hand of God’ match is put up for auction

The football that was at the feet — and hand — of Diego Maradona as he shocked the world with acts of both brazen gamesmanship and breathtaking skill in Mexico 36 years ago has been put up for auction and is expected to sell for at least $2.8 million.

The ball in question is from the 1986 World Cup quarterfinal between Argentina and England, in which Maradona scored six minutes into the second half by sneakily punching the ball over England goalkeeper Peter Shilton into the net, a goal he said afterwards had been helped by the "Hand of God."

En el día de su aniversario 106, Club América comienza a ilusionarse con el título 14 de su historia. La escuadra azulcrema visitó el Estadio Cuauhtémoc y venció a Puebla 6-1, en un verdadero concierto de fútbol, uno que además dejó practicamente sellado su paso a las semifinales del Apertura 2022.

El aterrizaje de las Águilas en la Angelópolis no fue muy placentero. Un chaparrón retrasó el inicio del partido y mientras secaban sus alas, Jordi Cortizo con un rebote algo fortuito adelantó a La Franja.

Golazo del Chucky Lozano guía al Napoli a octavos de final de la Champions y hunde al Ajax

Napoli volvió a golear al Ajax y aseguró su boleto en los octavos de final de la Champions League. Los italianos se impusieron con un cómodo 4-2 y tuvieron a Hirving Lozano como guía de la victoria. 

La alegría del Chucky, sin embargo, fue la tristeza de Edson Álvarez y Jorge Sánchez. Ambos fueron titulares con el Ajax y tras la derrota miran con incertidumbre la posibilidad de avanzar a la segunda fase del máximo torneo europeo.

Barcelona's reward for selling its soul is the Europa League

After 17 straight seasons of advancing to the Champions League knockout stages between 2004-05 and 2020-21, Barcelona is about to drop down to the Europa League for the second straight campaign after a damning 3-3 home draw with Inter Milan Wednesday left the Italian side just a win against Viktoria Plzeň away from securing a top-two place in Group C alongside Bayern Munich.
