Real Madrid 2010-2020: Ronaldo, Benzema and the "Fly Emirates" Golden Age

There are jerseys associated with a season, and others with total domination.

When we think of Real Madrid in the 2010s, one image comes to mind: Cristiano Ronaldo, muscles tensed, celebrating a goal in that immaculate white jersey emblazoned with the sponsor "Fly Emirates".

This period will remain one of the greatest in football history: 4 Champions Leagues in 5 years. Today, these jerseys are highly sought after because they represent the club's pinnacle. An analysis of a must-have for any collector.

1. The King: Cristiano Ronaldo (2014-2018)

This is the centerpiece. The white home jersey with black stripes (2014-15) or the polo collar (2016-17) flocked with Ronaldo N°7 is probably the safest investment on the market.

Why? Because CR7 won everything in this kit. It is the symbol of his absolute power. Finding an official, period flocking in good condition is increasingly difficult.

2. Karim Benzema: The Smart Investment

For a long time, he was in the shadows. Today, everyone wants Benzema N°9. Since his Ballon d'Or, the value of his old jerseys (2016, 2018, 2022) has exploded.

Now is the time to buy. Unlike Ronaldo, whose prices are already at their peak, Benzema's jerseys (especially the "Third" or Away models) remain accessible but increase in value every year. This is the choice of the smart investor.

3. The "Artists": Özil, Di Maria, and the forgotten gems

Real Madrid is not just about goalscorers. For purists, true beauty lies in the playmakers.

• Mesut Özil (N°10): The jersey from the Mourinho era (2010-2013). A rare elegance on the pitch.
• Angel Di Maria (N°22): The hero of the "Decima" in 2014. This jersey is steeped in European history.

These flockings are rarer than Ronaldo or Ramos, making them highly prized by discerning collectors.

Attention to technical details (Adizero vs Climacool)

It was in the 2010s that Adidas really separated its ranges (to understand all about these differences, read our Authentic vs. Replica guide). If you're looking for a jersey from this era, check the version carefully:

• Climacool: The standard fan version. Very durable.
• Adizero: The version worn by players (Authentic). Much lighter, heat-sealed logos, tailored fit (pay attention to sizing, consult our size guide).
