Panini Champions League 2013/2014


The official sticker collection of the Champions League 2013/2014 features a new approach of football stickers. Player stickers are subdivided in two parts: one bigger with the player portrait photo to be stuck in the team page and one sidebar sticker with player information and statistics to be stuck in the "Group summary", a double page that precedes the team pages of each group. 
The album starts with the contents and four introductory shining stickers: Panini logo, Champions League logo, official ball, and stadium. The album continues with the Roll of Honour (two shining stickers of the trophy) and the Road to Lisbon (two stickers with the logo of the final and stadium). Then the 32 participating clubs are shown following the group order. For each group there are two summary pages with the sidebar stickers of each player (as mentioned above). Each club is then displaced over two pages with a total of 18 stickers: the shining club badge, 11 regular players (displaced according to the tactics of the team) and 6 substitute players (arranged on the right page).















In the center of the album, the section "Stars in Action" includes 32 shining stickers of star players in action (one per club). These stickers are displaced over four pages.














Last part of the album includes three sections: "Final Wembley 2013" with four sticker of the previous final, "Legends" with 8 stickers of the previous 8 winners from 2004/2005 to 2011/2012, and "Women's Champions League" with two stickers about the final 2013 and the logo of the final 2014.

Panini Champions League 2006/2007


After the album Champions of Europe 1955-2005, Panini is back with the official sticker collection of the Champions League in the season 2006/2007.
The album opens with four introductory stickers in the roll of honour and fixture sections: Champions league trophy and logo, 2006 league winner, and the poster of the final Athens 2007.



Not all participating clubs are included in the album (only 20 out of 32), but two extra non-participating clubs (Ajax and Juventus) are also included as Champions League legends.
The teams in the album are grouped  by nations, starting from Spanish clubs (Barcelona and Valencia). Each club is displaced over two pages with a total of 17 stickers: the club badge (metallic sticker) and 16 players.
