Made in the 2006 style of Adidas ‘Climacool’ shirts; naturally it is a very baggy fitting shirt, and would easily fit a size large.

DESCRIPTION: 

This in my opinion is one of the best shirts Adidas have ever produced for Benfica, and that is saying a lot, given how consistent the quality of their shirts has been for Benfica. The 2006-07 season would see one of Benfica’s favourite sons return home as Manuel Rui Costa re-joined the club from AC Milan, while the club would also reach the quarter-final of the UEFA Cup.

The notable players that season were:

Nuno Gomes, Derlei, Fabrizio Miccoli, Mantorras, Simao, Rui Costa, Kostas Katsouranis, Armando Petit, Georgios Karagounis, Luisao, Ricardo Rocha, David Luiz, Anderson, Leo, Quim
