Real Madrid to play with LaLiga champions' badge on shirts in 2020-21 season

Real Madrid will play with a LaLiga champions badge on their shirts in the 2020-21 season.

Los Blancos claimed their 34th title in July after winning 10 games in a row post-lockdown to edge out fierce rivals Barcelona.

"This season will see Real Madrid displaying the badge created by LaLiga to recognise the competition's reigning champions," the club said on their website on Tuesday.

Zinedine Zidane's side kick off the defence of their title against Real Sociedad on September 20 and will wear the emblem for the first time in that match at Anoeta.

"The patch will be sewn on to the right sleeve of the jersey and measures 3.5cm, displaying the 19-20 season in reference to Real Madrid's championship-winning campaign," Los Blancos added.

The emblem was launched by LaLiga two years ago and has only previously been worn by Barcelona after the Catalans won the title in both 2017-18 and 2018-19.
