The navy blue and the central red band have kept their colour, with no pilling or snags. Two wear points, visible up close: a few fine cracks on the Fly Emirates sponsor letters (photo 6) and light wear on the number 10 on the back (photo 7). Nothing you can see from a distance, but I prefer to show you.

Nenê and PSG in the first QSI year
In summer 2011, Qatar Sports Investments bought Paris Saint-Germain. The club signed Javier Pastore and moved up a level, with Carlo Ancelotti replacing Antoine Kombouaré at the end of 2011.
Brazilian Nenê, signed from Monaco in 2010, wore the number 10. A left-footed set-piece specialist, he was the most decisive player in the Paris attack.
2011-2012 season: Nenê finished joint top scorer in Ligue 1 with 21 goals, level with Olivier Giroud.
Paris finished second, behind Montpellier. This home shirt is the last one before Zlatan Ibrahimović arrived.
No, you need to look closely to see the sponsor cracks and the number wear. Wash it at 30 °C inside out, without a tumble dryer, so they do not get worse.
Why the Winamax sponsor on the back?
It is the back sponsor placed under the number on this shirt. Back sponsors often change from one season to the next, which helps date a piece.
How can I check the shirt is authentic?
Look at the inner label: code 424020-401, which you can check yourself. Then check the crest and the finish of the V-neck.
How does this L fit?
It measures 54 cm pit to pit and 75 cm in length. It is rather loose: if you wear a loose M or a fitted L, it will suit you.
How much is shipping and how fast is it?
Shipped within 24-48 h with tracking: €5.99 in France, €9.99 to the EU, and free from €99.99. You have 14 days to send the shirt back if it does not suit you. All the details in my shipping FAQ.
