2007-08 Benfica Adidas Home Shirt DI MARIA #20 - 7/10 - (S)

Official Adidas Benfica home shirt from the 2007-08 season, printed with the name and number of Ángel Di María, then a teenage winger of extraordinary promise whose electric pace, direct running and ability to produce moments of genuine brilliance on either flank were already attracting the attention of the biggest clubs in European football during his time at the Estádio da Luz before his move to Real Madrid that would launch him onto the global stage as one of the most exciting wide players of his generation. This shirt covers the formative years of one of the most decorated careers South American football has produced in the modern era, a young Di María developing his craft in the Primeira Liga under Jorge Jesus and delivering performances of such consistent quality and excitement that his departure to Madrid felt inevitable for a player whose talent was so obviously destined for the very highest level of the game. A named and numbered early career Di María Benfica home shirt in the small size is an exceptionally rare and deeply collectible piece of football memorabilia bearing the name of a player who would go on to win the Champions League, the World Cup and become one of the most celebrated Argentine footballers of his generation, documented here at the very beginning of his extraordinary journey. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
