Real Madrid will not wear their traditional white kit when they face Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-final, due to UEFA kit regulations aimed at avoiding potential clashes on the pitch.
Despite wearing white in most away games across Europe this season, the Spanish giants have been instructed to switch to an alternate strip for the first leg at the Emirates Stadium. UEFA deemed the color contrast between Real Madrid’s all-white and Arsenal’s home kit insufficient for clear visual separation under match conditions.
“The UEFA Kit Regulations aim to avoid any kit clashes on the field,” the governing body said, adding that visibility for players, officials, and spectators remains a top priority.
