Real Madrid reassign numbers 7 and 11

MADRID. Karim Benzema is gone, Eden Hazard is gone, Marco Asensio is gone. And what regarding their shirt numbers at Real Madrid? Hazard’s 7 and Asensio’s 11 are already clear: Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes receive. The 7 goes to Vinícius, the 11 to Rodrygo. This can be seen from the squad overview on the Royal website since Monday followingnoon.

Vinícius was only asked in mid-April whether he would want to take over the number that legends like Cristiano Ronaldo, Raúl or Juanito had already worn. “I don’t know, I haven’t thought of that. I always think regarding doing my job well. I don’t care that much regarding the number”said the 22-year-old.

Fourth real numbers for Vinícius and Rodrygo

Now he has her! After the 28, the 25 and the 20 it is already his fourth number in Madrid – and determines his finale. Rodrygo had 27 and 25 before 21, he is now following in the footsteps of Gareth Bale and Francisco Gento, among others. The 20 is now worn by newcomer Fran García, the 21 should be assigned to Brahim Díaz. Benzema’s 9, 14, Mariano Díaz’s 24 and 25 would still be free for the Blancos. Jude Bellingham is almost certain to be another new signing at the moment.

In LaLiga, the numbers from 1 to 25 must be assigned to the officially registered professionals, numbers above are only allowed for youth players. And: According to the statutes, the Spanish football association RFEF ideally likes the 25 to be assigned to a goalkeeper. In the case of numbers 1 and 13, this is mandatory on the Iberian Peninsula. For example, if there are only two goalkeepers in the squad, as with Real, then the 25 can also be worn by a field player as an exception.

However, as soon as the next opportunity arises to exchange them for a lower number, that should also happen. Accordingly, the 25 was only owned by Vinícius (2019/20), Rodrygo (2020/21) or Eduardo Camavinga (2021/22) for regarding one season.
