La superstar argentine n'est pas élégante uniquement sur un terrain de football, elle l'est aussi en dehors. Avant son déplacement à Wembley pour affronter Tottenham en Ligue des champions (victoire 4-2 du Barça), le FC Barcelone a soigné son look au moment d'embarquer. La vingtaine de joueurs et l'entraîneur, Ernesto Valverde, étaient habillés par le designer américain Thom Browne. Ils étaient ainsi vêtus d'un costume gris accompagné d'une chemise blanche, d'une cravate et de chaussures en cuir noires. Le prix de chaque costume excède les 4.500 euros (4.200 livres sterling), révèle le Daily Mail . En comptant les 20 joueurs qui se rendaient à Londres et Valverde, le Barça était habillé pour près de 100.000 euros. Une tenue loin d'être anodine.
In fact, FC Barcelona announced a 3-year agreement with Thom Browne last July to make him its official dresser. The Catalans will therefore continue to wear costumes made by the brand during their travels in the Champions League. "the image of the players in the uniforms shows the true trust and individuality that will inspire today's youth," said Thom Browne in a press release three months ago.
Thom Browne doesn't discover the world of sports. Last April, he was already dressing up the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA. We admired LeBron James and his teammates in impeccable costumes before their playoffs. Costumes that sometimes wore shorts instead of trousers, which was sure to surprise fans. It is not yet known whether LeBron James, now player of the Los Angeles Lakers, or the Horsemen will wear this type of suit again. At least they didn't bring them luck, as Cleveland was swept 4-0 in the NBA finals by the Golden State Warriors. To see if the Barça will win the Champions League while being at the forefront of fashion.
