The Panini leading album of the season 2018/2019 is a wonderful product that includes more than 800 stickers covering the main leagues of the Italian football. For the third consecutive year an hardcover version of the album was released.
The album opens with an introductory page including four metallic stickers: Serie A logo and trophies of Serie A, Italian Cup, and Super Cup. The album continues with the presentation of Serie A clubs. For each club there are 28 stickers on 4 pages. The first two pages include the metallic stickers of the clubs badge and stadium together with 22 stickers of the squad. In the second two pages there are four more stickers: the team photo and three shinies (the home shirt, players in action, and the coach). Player careers are all grouped together at the end of the album.
The section "Film del Campionato" describes the season 2018/19 with 25 stickers. The first five stickers are included in regular packets, whereas the others were issued with four special packets along the season. Much space is granted to the title winner Juventus and its new leader Cristiano Ronaldo, but here we find also the stickers of amazing performance of the season, like the top scorer Quagliarella or Atalanta qualified to the Champions League.
The 48 stickers released with the update set in March 2019 find place in the section Calciomercato. Here we find players and coaches that moved during the winter market. With the update set there are also the mini stickers "Trasferito" (Transferred) to be applied on the players that left the club during the season.
In the season 2018/19, Serie B was composed by 19 clubs. A sticker with the Serie B logo is included on the first club page (Ascoli). Each club includes 6 stickers of players (three players per sticker for a total of 18 players), the team photo sticker and the badge sticker (half metallic sticker). The three clubs promoted to the Serie A 2019/20 are Brescia, Lecce, and Verona.
Women football is a growing movement in Italy as well and Panini dedicates again a double page with the team photo stickers of the 12 Serie A clubs.
Last section with stickers of the album is dedicated to the Women and Under 21 Italian National teams. Here we find a total of 10 metallic stickers with players (three players per sticker).
