What Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale Wore When They Made Their Él Clásico Debut
After we have already taken a look at the boots worn by Barcelona's strikers Messi, Suarez and Neymar in their Clásico debut, we now take a look at the soccer cleats worn by Real Madrid's famous attackers - Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo - in their first Clásico.
Karim Benzema - Adidas Adipure II
Karim Benzema made his Clásico debut in 2009.
Joining the Spanish giants from Olympique Lyon as Ligue 1 top scorer, Karim Benzema not laced up in the Adidas F50 Adizero as in most Clásicos until Adidas discontinued the boot, but entered the pitch wearing the classy red and white Adidas Adipure II soccer boots.
Cristiano Ronaldo - Nike Mercurial
Cristiano Ronaldo made his Clásico debut on the same day as Karim Benzema. But while Karim Benzema has since then two times switched boots, the Portuguese superstar laced up in the same silo as now - the Nike Mercurial. His black and yellow Mercurial Vapor Superfly cleats, which were launched in Summer 2009, combine an ultra-thin Teijin skin exterior and Flywire threads for ultimate lockdown, touch and speed.
Bale - Adidas F50 Adizero
Bale will miss out this season's first Clásico with an injury.
Gareth Bale made his El Clasico debut in 2013 wearing a pair of the now-discontinued, third-last generation Electricity Adidas F50 Adizero football boot.
