Barcelona fans are being given the chance to recreate the look of their heroes by buying replicas of masks that the club’s squad and coaching staff are wearing to training – but fans say the products are capitalizing on COVID-19.
While some of Barcelona’s European rivals have charged around a quarter of the price for masks, the reigning La Liga champions are asking for €18 (around $20) for each item, designed to protect against COVID-19 transmission.
Barca encouraged their vast global fanbase to buy the garments and provided a gallery of famous faces wearing the new masks, including major summer signings Frenkie De Jong and Antoine Griezmann standing opposite each other with their arms folded. (RT)
