On the other hand, the band also shared their view of this suprsing cooperation.

"We're huge football fans and honoured that Spotify have brought our Tongue & Lips logo to grace the FC Barcelona shirt to celebrate the release of the Stones' new 'Hackney Diamonds' album. We'll be cheering on the players on the pitch as well as fans around the world who will be tuning in to watch this iconic match."
