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.
