1997-98 Barcelona Away - Size XL (L Fit)

 Excellent condition with some wear, including a long pull on front, please refer to the photos, 22.5" pit to pit

This iconic Barcelona away shirt from the 1997-98 season captures a pivotal moment in club history. Worn during Louis van Gaal's triumphant first campaign, which delivered both La Liga and Copa del Rey titles, this jersey represents an era of transformation and ambition. The arrival of Rivaldo from Deportivo La Coruña proved instrumental that season. The Brazilian sensation netted 28 goals across 52 appearances, establishing himself as the creative force and clinical finisher Barcelona needed following Ronaldo's record-breaking departure to Internazionale. His blend of flair and finishing prowess made him indispensable to the club's success. In excellent condition with minor wear consistent with age, this piece shows a long pull on the front. Measuring 22.5" pit to pit, it offers an authentic XL fit from a campaign that redefined Barcelona's trajectory. A must-have for collectors of 1990s football memorabilia and those who witnessed one of the club's most transformative periods.
