Real Madrid 2017-2018 Third Shirt - Ronaldo No.7 (M)

I found nothing to fault. The teal is vivid and even, the pixel square pattern stays sharp from the collar to the hem, and the Fly Emirates sponsor is complete with no cracking. The Climacool knit shows no pilling and the RONALDO 7 printing lies perfectly flat.

This M measures 50 x 73 cm, a fairly close-fitting cut. Compare with the flat measurements below, or check my size guide.

Ronaldo's last season at Real

Zinédine Zidane's Real went into 2017-2018 as double European champions. The summer began with a UEFA Super Cup win over Manchester United (2-1), followed by a Spanish Super Cup won against Barça. In December 2017, Cristiano Ronaldo received his fifth Ballon d'Or, and the club kept its world title against Grêmio (1-0), thanks to a free kick from the Portuguese.

3 April 2018, Turin. In the quarter-final first leg against Juventus, Ronaldo scored an overhead kick that drew an ovation from the home crowd. Real won 3-0.

26 May 2018, Kyiv. Real beat Liverpool 3-1 in the final and won a third consecutive Champions League, the thirteenth in their history.

Ronaldo finished as the competition's top scorer for the sixth season in a row, then joined Juventus in July 2018. Zidane, for his part, left the bench a few days after the final.
