The Champions League offers fans an opportunity to watch some of the world's best players in action.
For those who don't follow Spanish football as closely as they might like, this was a chance to witness Barcelona's formidable MSN frontline in full flow as the Catalan club took on Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16.
But anyone looking forward to a visual treat was met with one very major stumbling block: Barça's very striking away kit.
With PSG donning their famous blue, it was time for Luis Enrique's side to give their reverse strip a chance. And, while it might not quite be on the level of that 'tequila sunrise' effort from a couple of years ago, it wasn't quite as easy on the eye as a Lionel Messi free-kick.

The drinks comparisons remained, but tequila went back onto the shelf.

Or maybe something even worse for anyone who opts to drink it.

Perhaps it was a deliberate ploy from the 2015 champions.

The kit did win itself some fans, though.

Even if the general reaction was more along these lines.
