Spanish football champions, Real Madrid, launched their new all-white home kit for the 2022/23 season much to the amazement of their supporters. While the home kit was appreciated by the fans of the football club, the rest of the sporting world could not help but notice the similarity between their kit and a Test cricket kit.
Real Madrid’s new home kit features a plain white kit with a collar that drew comparisons with Test cricket kits. Netizens took the opportunity to troll arguably the biggest club in world football by sharing pictures of the Test kits.
Have a look at Madrid’s new kit:

Spanish champions are on course to register a historic double as the team gears up to face Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League final. Madrid has already secured the LaLiga as they have a 12-point lead over Barcelona with just one more match remaining in the season.
Madrid’s striker, Karim Benzema has had an immense season, scoring 44 goals and 15 assists in 44 matches in all competitions. The 34-year-old is the front-runner to bag this year’s Ballon D’or, which will be his first in his 18-year professional career.
