AC Milan 2007-2008 Third Shirt - Ronaldo N°99 (L)

For a shirt close to twenty years old, the condition is remarkable: the black hasn't faded to grey, the red shoulder panels are bright and the bwin sponsor is intact, with no cracking. I only noticed minimal wear, invisible to the naked eye when the shirt is worn.

Not sure about the size? adidas cuts from 2007 are generous: compare with the flat measurements below or check my size guide.

Ronaldo, the Fenomeno's 99

Ronaldo arrived from Real Madrid in January 2007. With the number 9 already worn by Filippo Inzaghi, he chose 99. He became one of the few players to have worn the shirts of both Inter and Milan.

13 January 2008: at San Siro, Milan beat Napoli 5-2. Ronaldo scores twice, on the day of Alexandre Pato's first steps in Serie A.

A month later, on 13 February 2008, he ruptured his patellar tendon against Livorno. It was his last match for Milan, whom he left at the end of the season for Corinthians.

This black third shirt, with its polo collar and red panels, remains one of the most sought-after kits of those rossonero years.
