The 1997/98 season is one of the most glorious in the history of Real Madrid: the conquest of "La Séptima" European Cup at the Amsterdam Arena on May 20, 1998, with the decisive goal from Predrag Mijatović in the 66th minute against Zinedine Zidane and Didier Deschamps' Juventus. Thirty-two years of European drought culminated with that shot from the Montenegrin, which silenced Juventus and unleashed white euphoria. Mijatović, signed from Valencia CF the previous summer, had an extraordinary season that made him an eternal hero of Madridismo with that single goal worth an entire career. The football shirt manufactured by Taquy—a local Spanish brand that produced Madrid's kits at the time—with Mijatović's name and number on the back is a top-tier archival piece: an object imprinted with the name of the author of the club's most important goal in three decades, from the exact season of the feat. The purple polo collar with a polka-dot print and the star details on the sleeves are the most recognizable design elements of that kit.
