The 1996-1997 season was the year of Real Madrid’s quiet reconstruction. Fabio Capello arrived on the bench with the mission of bringing back the La Liga title, and he succeeded. But the locker room already contained the ingredients for something greater: Predrag Mijatović had arrived that summer from Valencia, with a reputation as a goalscorer and technical quality that was out of the ordinary. The Montenegrin quickly became one of the team's key figures, and the following year he would score the goal that would give Madrid their seventh Champions League title in Amsterdam.
This is the third kit from that season, manufactured by Kelme. A nineties design with all the personality of that era. Featuring the number 8 and the name of Mijatović — the player who would go down in the club's history a year later. Size S.
