Real Madrid Away Shirt 2021/22 - Benzema 9 (M)

Benzema 9, a royal blue Adidas design, and a Champions League season for the history books – Real Madrid's away kit from 2021/22 is closely linked to perhaps the greatest individual year in Karim Benzema's career.

The Real Madrid away shirt 2021/22 with Benzema 9 stems from the season where the Frenchman truly took over as Los Blancos' undisputed superstar. With captain's responsibility, crucial goals, and spectacular European nights, Benzema led Madrid through an unforgettable season.

Adidas opted for a striking blue design with orange details, the classic three stripes, and the Emirates Fly Better sponsor on the front. On the back, it says Benzema 9 – the number that for more than a decade became synonymous with the Frenchman's time at Santiago Bernabéu.

Karim Benzema delivered perhaps the strongest season of his career. He was top scorer in both La Liga and the Champions League and delivered decisive goals one after another as Real Madrid fought their way through Europe's biggest club tournament.

The Champions League adventure, in particular, became legendary. Benzema scored hat-tricks against both Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea and also delivered crucial goals against Manchester City before Liverpool awaited in the final in Paris.

Real Madrid ended the season with both the Spanish championship and the Champions League trophy. Benzema's performances were later rewarded with the Ballon d'Or 2022, cementing his status among the club's greatest strikers.

With Benzema 9 on the back, this blue away kit is therefore closely linked to a historic year for both the player and Real Madrid – and an obvious collector's item from one of the most dramatic Champions League campaigns ever.
