Real Madrid match shirt issued for / worn by Karim Benzema for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 second leg, played at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium against Ajax on 05/03/2019, during the 2018/19 season.

As the shirt features the commemorative FIFA Club World Cup 2018 winners’ patch on the chest, it can be dated with precision. This patch was applied to Real Madrid’s match shirts only after their triumph on 22 December 2018, when Los Blancos defeated Al-Ain. Therefore, the shirt can be attributed exclusively to a match played in the second half of the 2018/19 season, from January 2019 onwards.

Furthermore, the presence of the UEFA Champions League patch confirms that the shirt was used in a European competition.

In the second half of the 2018/19 season, Real Madrid played only the Round of 16 tie against Ajax in the Champions League. On that occasion:

• in the first leg, Benzema and his teammates wore the black away kit;
• in the second leg, Los Blancos wore the home kit.

In light of these elements, the shirt offered at auction can be attributed solely to the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 against Ajax. The match ended in a remarkable 4–1 victory for the Dutch side, a result that led to the elimination of Real Madrid, the reigning European and world champions.

The photo gallery highlights the differences between the shirts worn by Real Madrid in the first part of the Champions League season and those used in the first and second legs against Ajax.

This memorabilia is part of the match supply made available to players during official competitions and is different in its features in relation to the ones sold in fanshops, it could have been worn during the match and washed after the end of the match or prepared for the match but then not used.
