Real Madrid Unveils Stunning Third Kit Featuring Legendary Player's Immortal Words

Fresh leaked photos of Real Madrid's 2025–26 third jersey showcase a legendary phrase embroidered into the material that serves as both a heartfelt homage to club legend Juanito and a reference to Los Blancos' winning mentality.

Real Madrid has already introduced their new home and away jerseys during this summer's FIFA Club World Cup, however their third jersey remains officially unrevealed. Reports from Footy Headlines, nevertheless, provide supporters with a preview of the design that incorporates a physical element of Real Madrid's rich history.

The blue jersey displays the late Juanito's iconic phrase: "90 minuti en el Bernabéu son molto longo". The English version states, "90 minutes in the Bernabéu are very long".

See how the phrase will appear on the upcoming jersey below.

Juanito spoke these memorable words in 1985 following Los Blancos' 2–0 defeat to Inter Milan in the UEFA Cup semifinals. The disappointing result occurred at San Siro with Real Madrid scheduled to play the return leg at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The Spanish player's motivational words drove Los Blancos to achieve a spectacular 3–0 triumph at home, overturning Inter Milan 3–2 overall. Real Madrid subsequently claimed the tournament.

Since that memorable evening at the Santiago Bernabéu, Juanito's words have been referenced whenever the club must orchestrate an unlikely turnaround in the Spanish capital.

Embedding the phrase into Real Madrid's 2025–26 third jersey honors Juanito, who sadly died in a vehicle crash at 37 years old. The club recently commemorated the 33-year milestone of the striker's passing on Apr. 2.

The club's upcoming third jersey, which closely resembles Los Blancos' 2013–14 away design, includes a unique element that distinguishes it from any previous design in Real Madrid's catalog.
