Aitana to parade Ballon d'Or before Eibar game at Estadi Johan Cruyff

On the night of October 28, Aitana Bonmatí once again made history in Paris by winning the Ballon d'Or for the second consecutive year, cementing her position as the best player in the world. Aitana has been a key player in the team’s success this year, which was also honoured as the best women’s team in the world, after winning all four trophies on offer. These achievements will be celebrated and shared with fans this coming Saturday 2 November.

Wonderful night

Before the 6.30pm CET kickoff against Eibar, the midfielder will be showing off the trophy to the crowd, in expression of her gratitude for their unwavering support. The club is also preparing a tribute to the team for the honour bestowed on it by France Football, meaning two highlights to celebrate on Saturday afternoon before a ball has even been kicked. But there's more...

Coldplay on the shirt

The team will be wearing the blaugrana jersey with Coldplay’s emblem, and the whole day will be themed around the British band, with activities for fans like games, contests, quizzes, and karaoke, all to the beat of a DJ playing the band’s hits. And tribute band Coldday will be performing two of Coldplay’s best-known songs, We Pray and Viva la Vida, in a halftime show.

Congrats and prizes

The club is encouraging fans attending Saturday's to bring banners with congratulatory messages for Aitana. A photographer will capture these images during the pre-match, and they’ll be displayed on the big screen at halftime as a tribute to the midfielder. And the traditional shirt toss will feature a very special prize: of the six scarves that fans can win, one will be a limited-edition Coldplay scarf signed by the Ballon d'Or winner.

Members doing their part

A new feature this season is that FC Barcelona members will be able to actively participate in creating the game’s atmosphere. Four winners of a previous special event for members will be selected to carry the banner with the images and names of the starting XI during the pre-match build-up.
