From London to Dakar, the installation of the ‘Red Carpets’ across the globe has brought to life the excitement, the entertainment, the glamour and the global reach of this fixture and LaLiga. Barcelona vs Real Madrid is always an incredible show, and with the world watching we’re sure this edition will be no different.”
