F.C. Barcelona will wear an all-yellow away shirt and dark blue shorts for the 2008/09 Spanish La Liga season.

Manufactured by sportswear giants Nike, the yellow shirt features a V-neck collar with dark blue inserts and a dark blue and red stripe running down the left side of the players body. The shirt features DRI-FIT technology to keep the players comfortable in all different kinds of playing conditions.

The arrival of the new away kit marks a huge improvement from last season's (2007-08) away kit which has now been relegated to being the third kit in 2008-09 so this won't be the last we see of it just yet!

Barcelona home kit 2008-09

July 3rd 2008 05:48

Spanish giants will be looking to end two years of hurt in 2008/09 with a new coach (Pep Guardiola) at the helm while wearing a new revolutionary home kit.

Known as the Blaugrana for their blue and maroon shirts, the maroon part will be replaced with red for the 2008/09 season thus making the home kit much brighter than it has ever been. Featuring a V-neck collar and the Unicef logo across the chest, the blue and red colours are split right down the middle as if two separate shirts - blue and red - have been cut and sewed together.

Manufactured by sportswear giants Nike, the shirt features DRI-FIT technology to keep the players comfortable in all different kinds of playing conditions.

Deco joins Chelsea for £8m

July 1st 2008 05:00

Deco shakes hands with Peter Kenyon

Portugal midfielder Deco has joined Chelsea from Spanish giants Barcelona after he was told he did not feature in Barcelona's future plans by new coach Pep Guardiola.

Despite suffering injuries and a loss of form for Barca last season, Deco was still one of Portugal's best players in their failed Euro 2008 campaign and is still regarded as one of Europe's most highly-rated playmakers. The 30-year-old has joined the Stamford Bridge outfit on a two-year deal for a fee of about £8m and will once again team up with coach Luiz Felipe Scolari who he played under for the national team.

The Brazilian-born midfielder has a bulging trophy cabinet which includes two Champion's League medals, a Uefa cup winner's medal, and two La Liga titles from his time at FC Porto and Barcelona.

Deco spoke to Chelsea TV after officially signing and said that winning the Champion's League was a top priority for him and the club: "It is good for me to be here and first of all I am very happy to be here.

"I am sure I have come at the right time to do great things and be able to help Chelsea go back to the way it was and come back to being the first one, not only in England but also to win the Champions League that has been their dream for so long."

The arrival of the Portugese star adds a new dimension for the Chelsea midfield which currently includes Frank Lampard, Michael Ballack, Michael Essien, Jon Mikel Obi and Claude Makelele although some would argue that his arrival has only hastened the departure of Frank Lampard who is rumoured to be a transfer target for former boss Jose Mourinho who is now at Inter Milan.
