The 2016/17 season was the definitive consecration of Zinedine Zidane's project as manager. Real Madrid achieved the double—La Liga and the Champions League—in the same campaign, a feat the club had not accomplished since the Di Stéfano era. In the Bundesliga, the league title was decided in the final moments of a very evenly matched season, while in Europe, the team defeated Juventus in the Cardiff final with Cristiano Ronaldo in top form. Bale, Benzema, Modric, Kroos, and Ramos led a squad that had turned Madrid into the most feared team on the continent. A season for the history books, with the double serving as confirmation that that team was more than just a collection of individuals.
The item is the 2016/17 third shirt, manufactured by Adidas. The design is in dark purple—one of Madrid's most memorable alternative colors in the Adidas era—with contrasting three stripes and the club crest embroidered on the chest. Article code AI5139, which corresponds to the replica version of that season's alternate kit. Size S, with the fitted cut characteristic of Adidas during that period. No player name or number. A visually powerful piece from a historic season for Madridismo.
