SL Benfica 2020/21 Home Shirt #49 Taarabt
Official adidas 2020/21 home shirt for SL Benfica, featuring the traditional red colourway with gold and black detailing, official sleeve Liga NOS sleeve patch, and nameset for Moroccan midfielder Adel Taarabt (#49).
Kit History & Context
Released by Adidas for the 2020/21 campaign under Jorge Jesus, this home shirt marked a stylish departure from traditional trims by pairing Benfica's classic red base with matte gold accents for the club crest and logos, alongside black three-stripes across the shoulders. The 2020/21 season was a memorable one for Adel Taarabt, who fully completed his remarkable career reinvention at the Estádio da Luz, transitioning from a mercurial winger into a deep-lying playmaker and dynamic midfield general for As Águias.
