The 1999/2000 season was one of the most turbulent in Atlético de Madrid's recent history. The club, which had won the League and Copa del Rey double in 1996, was spiraling into an institutional crisis under the presidency of Jesús Gil, which culminated in relegation to the Second Division at the end of that same season—the first in the club's history. On the pitch, the team, led first by Claudio Ranieri and later by other managers, could not find the necessary stability. Players like Hasselbaink, Valerón, Kiko, Baraja, and Molina were part of a dressing room that could not avoid the catastrophe. A season that marked a turning point in the history of the red-and-white club.
The item is that season's home jersey, manufactured by Reebok, in its long-sleeved version—a less common format and therefore more sought after by collectors. Red and white vertical stripes, the classic Atlético design, with the club crest embroidered on the chest. Size XL, with the straight cut typical of Reebok kits from the late nineties. A piece that belongs to one of the club's most dramatic moments and combines historical value with the rarity of the long-sleeved version.
