PSG 2018-2019 Home Shirt - Thiago Silva No.2 (S)

I found nothing to fault. The navy is deep and even, the central red band keeps all its contrast and the fabric shows no pilling. The Fly Emirates, QNB and Ooredoo sponsors are complete with no cracking, and the collar is not stretched. The T.SILVA 2 printing is smooth, with no lifting edges.

Not sure about the size? This S measures 47 x 70 cm: compare with the flat measurements below, or check my size guide.

Flat measurements

A Nike S true to size, with a slightly tapered cut. Lay a shirt that fits you well flat, measure it the same way and compare.

Thiago Silva, captain of the Tuchel year

Summer 2018: Thomas Tuchel replaced Unai Emery on the Paris bench. Signed from AC Milan in 2012, Thiago Silva wore the armband and the number 2 at the heart of a defence playing behind Neymar, Mbappé and Cavani.

4 August 2018: PSG won the Trophée des Champions 4-0 against Monaco in Shenzhen.

6 March 2019: after a 2-0 first-leg win at Old Trafford, Paris were knocked out at the Parc des Princes by Manchester United (1-3) with a stoppage-time penalty.

The club claimed its eighth French title in the spring, but lost the Coupe de France final to Rennes on penalties. A season of contrasts, worn in this shirt with its vibrant red band.
