FC Barcelona’s Rafa Márquez was unable to participate in the 2009 UEFA Champions League final held in Rome. He had sustained a knee injury during the first leg of the semi-finals against Chelsea, requiring surgery that ruled him out for the rest of the season. Barcelona went on to win the final, defeating Manchester United 2-0 to complete a historic treble.
We carry hundreds of official club and national team jerseys and often are asked about the differences between the authentic and replica versions.
Let’s start with the basics. Which one is “legit” (not fake)? Both of them! Authentic and stadium jerseys are both officially licensed meaning they are approved by the club or national team and brand.
The “authentic” jerseys are exact matches of what the professionals wear on the field for match day. They are built with athletic cut and performance features.
The “replica” versions are made for fans to wear in the stands or wherever you are watching the game or displaying your pride. You get a more relaxed fit made for everyday comfort.
