Real Madrid remembers Juanito in its new jersey, a historic gesture

Real Madrid has once again shown how much importance it gives to its legends. Juanito is one of the most remembered players at the white house, as is evident in every match. The 7th minute is reserved for singing "illa, illa, illa, Juanito maravilla".

But that's not enough, since the white club has prepared another beautiful tribute to Juanito. This time, it's with a detail included in Real Madrid's jersey. The third kit will be infused with pure Madridist DNA with a legendary phrase.

In fact, inside the jersey, there will be a legend written that's part of the club's history. "90 minuti en el Bernabéu son molto longo" can be read on a tag on the inside. The legendary phrase coined by Juanito, which is the motto and reflection of the epic comebacks at the white stadium.

Juan Gómez, Juanito, said that phrase at the Giuseppe Meazza during the 1984-1985 season. They had just lost 2-0 in the semifinals of the UEFA Cup, but the second leg was still to be played. That's when he launched that motto, which has already become a legend of the white club.

A jersey that reminds of Bernabéu

Real Madrid wanted to keep the new Bernabéu very present in the kits for next season. The first one is inspired by the changes the stadium has undergone, as they confirmed. Some reflections that are reminiscent of those on the roof after the renovation.

The second kit is dominated by dark blue and there's also an explanation for that. It's a tribute to the nights at Bernabéu, specifically to those historic comebacks that have taken place. That's why they wanted to convey that idea with this jersey.

In the third, we've already talked about the phrase from Juanito that will be included inside. In addition, the color resembles the seats in the stadium after the renovation. So it'll be another way to keep it present as well, showing its importance.
