No flaws: the blue and white stripes are bright, the fine diagonal pattern is sharp and the white has not yellowed. The MEO sponsor and the New Balance logo are intact, with no cracking or peeling (photo 3). On the back, Super Bock and the printing lie perfectly flat. The shirt no longer has its retail tags, hence the pre-owned label.

Workshop note — On FC Porto's New Balance shirts, the care label states the season directly. Here, MT130060 and 2021/2022 match the home design of that year, recognisable by its plain blue upper back carrying the Super Bock sponsor.
Vitinha, the last season at the Dragão
A FC Porto academy graduate, Vitinha returned to the club in summer 2021 after a season on loan at Wolverhampton. Under Sérgio Conceição he made the midfield his own and became one of the key men of the season.
May 2022: FC Porto were crowned Portuguese champions with 91 points, then won the Portuguese Cup against Tondela. The double.
His performances caught the eye of all of Europe. In summer 2022 Paris Saint-Germain signed him, and Vitinha went on to become a pillar of the Paris midfield and of the Portugal national team.
This home shirt belongs to his breakthrough season, the last in the colours of his boyhood club.
The Super Bock brewery is FC Porto's back-of-shirt sponsor. It sits above the name on the 2021-2022 shirt, in the plain blue upper back designed for it.
Is the shirt new?
It is in perfect condition, with no flaws at all, but it no longer has its retail tags. So I list it as pre-owned, rated 10/10.
How can I check the shirt is authentic?
Look at the inner label: reference MT130060 and season 2021/2022. You can check the reference yourself. Then look at the raised crest, the New Balance logo and the diagonal knit.
How does this M fit?
Rather slim: 50 cm pit to pit and 70 cm long. If you wear M and like some room, compare with one of your own shirts.
How much is shipping and how long does it take?
Dispatched within 24-48 h with tracking: €5.99 in France, €9.99 to the EU, free from €99.99. You have 14 days to send the shirt back if it is not right for you. All the details are in my shipping FAQ.
