Barcelona players are to wear special kits for their Copa del Rey semi-final showdown against fierce rivals Real Madrid on Wednesday evening at Camp Nou.
For the first time ever, Barcelona's unique shirts feature each player's name written Chinese characters underneath their regular names in order to honour Chinese New Year which starts this week.
Chinese New Year officially began on Tuesday February 5 to initiate the Year of the Pig but is to be celebrated globally during the rest of this month. The Year of the Rat will arrive next on January 25, 2020.
