Does the New Logo Suit the Latest Barcelona Concept Kit? We Think So.
Are you enjoying the international break? That’s the question that we’ve heard a number of times these past few days. UEFA has tried to spice up international friendlies by turning them into a competition. UEFA Nations League adds a competitive edge that the friendlies were completely lacking.
