Barça Faces a Retro Round Challenge
Barcelona faces a thrilling test against Athletic Bilbao this Saturday in round 27 of La Liga.
According to Marca, Barcelona won’t participate in this season’s Retro Round, though the club remains open to embracing the idea soon.
The round features kits inspired by classic designs, in a special event organized by La Liga to celebrate the league’s legacy.
The initiative aims to celebrate the rich history of Spanish football.
Barça sit atop the table on 64 points, one clear of Real Madrid, with the Catalans having a game in hand.
Today they will wear the second kit against Bilbao due to a clash with the home side’s colors.
Barça will also chase the misfortune of the second kit after two straight defeats: 0-3 to Chelsea in the Champions League and 0-4 to Atlético Madrid in the Copa del Rey.

Punchline 1: If luck were a jersey, Barça would still be offside.
Punchline 2: The retro look is back, but the results better catch up before the season ends.
