9.5/10
Shirt condition
Excellent condition
The red is still bright, the tonal stripes are crisp, the Lavezzi No.11 nameset and both UEFA patches are spotless. One point of transparency: light cracking on the “E” and the “m” of Fly Emirates, which I photographed close up for you (photo 6). The rest of the shirt is perfect: no holes, no stains.

🛠️ Workshop note — This is the European version of the shirt, not the domestic one: starball patch on one sleeve, RESPECT on the other, and a club-typeface nameset with the PSG crest set inside every digit (photo 5). The Ligue 1 version carries the LFP patch and a different nameset.
📖 2012-2013: PSG champions after nineteen years
This is the season the Paris project finally produced a trophy. Under Carlo Ancelotti, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic up front, David Beckham as a winter reinforcement and Ezequiel Lavezzi freshly arrived from Napoli, PSG won their first French league title since 1994 — and pushed Barcelona to the limit in the Champions League.
🏆 May 2013 — French champions. Nineteen years after the 1994 title, Paris were back on top of the league. Ibrahimovic finished as Ligue 1's top scorer in his first season in France.
📅 April 2013 — Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona. Two draws (2-2 at the Parc, 1-1 at the Camp Nou) and elimination on away goals. PSG had just proved they could stand up to the best in Europe. This shirt carries the patches from that campaign.
📅 January to May 2013 — David Beckham's five months in Paris. The Englishman signed for PSG in January and announced his retirement in May, as a French champion. A short spell, but one that marked the club and its global image.
👑 Ezequiel Lavezzi — signed from Napoli in the summer of 2012, the Argentine winger nicknamed El Pocho spent four seasons in Paris. Pace, pressing and big European nights: a player close to the Parc's heart, whose Champions League namesets are sought after.
❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Is the shirt 100% authentic?
Yes. Nike PSG 2012-2013 authentication carried out in my workshop: original Nike label with reference 505056-611 (photo 4), Nike AUTHENTIC tag at the hem, embroidered 1970 crest, correct UEFA patches. Real photos of the exact item sold, lifetime authenticity guarantee.
What is the exact condition, and is there a flaw?
9.5/10. The only flaw is light cracking on two letters of the Fly Emirates sponsor, invisible at normal viewing distance and photographed close up (photo 6). No holes, no stains, nameset and patches spotless.
How does this shirt fit in size XL?
Flat measurements: 60 cm pit to pit, 79 cm in length. A generous cut, ideal for a loose fit. Measure a shirt you already wear and compare with these figures.
How does it differ from the Ligue 1 version?
The domestic version carries the LFP sleeve patch and a Ligue 1 nameset. This one carries the UEFA starball and RESPECT patches with a club-typeface nameset: the version worn in the Champions League, produced in smaller numbers.
Why is the crest not the current one?
Because PSG modernised its badge in 2013. This shirt carries the old circular crest with the Eiffel Tower, the cradle and the date 1970 — a period marker no longer found on recent shirts.
