Match Worn Shirt
Lemar Thomas
Did you Know?
This shirt was worn by Thomas Lemar during a Champions League game of the season 2018/2019. We don’t know in what game the shirt was used but it was given by the player to a France National team mate of him whom we got it from. The shirt has an extra badge on sleeve under the Uefa Champions League badge stating “Winners 2018 Uefa Europa League” to celebrate the 2017/2018 team’s victory in the Europa League competition. Lemar is a versatile midfielder able to play on both wings as well as through the centre and in a free role. He is predominantly left footed, but is also competent with his right foot. He is noted for his excellent dribbling skills, strong passing ability and free kicks. He has said he prefers to link-up with teammates, rather than taking on defenders: “I am trying to avoid duels and concentrate on passing as much as possible.” He will often attempt to score from long range. On 18 June 2018, La Liga club Atlético Madrid confirmed that an agreement had been reached with Monaco for the transfer of Lemar. On 27 July, Lemar successfully passed his medical, joining for a reported fee of €70 million. On 22 September, Lemar scored his first league goal for Atletico against Getafe in a 2–0 away win, where he also hit the shot that resulted in an own goal for Getafe keeper David Soria. He ended the 2018–19 season with three goals in all competitions.

Match Issued Shirt
Oblak Jan
Did you Know?
This shirt was issued for Jan Oblak for the Champions League’s game between Lokomotiv Moscow and Atletico Madrid which took place in Moscow, “RZD Arena”, on October 1st 2019. Atletico Madrid defeated Lokomotiv Moscow 2-0. On 16 July 2014, Atlético Madrid announced they had reached an agreement with Benfica for the transfer of Oblak, pending a medical examination. Atlético paid €16 million for the Slovenian player, making him the most expensive goalkeeper in La Liga history. Oblak moved to Madrid on a six-year deal as a replacement for Thibaut Courtois, who had returned to play for his parent club Chelsea following his loan expiration. During his presentation, on 22 July 2014, Oblak said, “I don’t come to replace anyone. I come as another player. I’m here along with the rest of the players and goalkeepers. I’ll do everything in my power to defend this shirt and achieve great results this season. I will do everything in my hand to help the team.” On 6 November 2018, Oblak kept a clean sheet in a 2–0 home win over Borussia Dortmund in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League. By doing so, he kept his 100th clean sheet for Atlético, a feat which he achieved in 178 official games. On 17 April 2019, Oblak agreed to a four-year contract extension with the club, keeping him at the club until 2023. At the end of the season, Oblak won the Ricardo Zamora Trophy for the fourth consecutive season, hence equalling the record of Víctor Valdés for most consecutive Zamora Trophies won. He was also awarded the La Liga Best Goalkeeper of the season award for the fourth consecutive time.
