Panini Futbol Argentino 2018/2019




With the season 2018/2019, the album of the Superliga Argentina goes back to a normal size, after the large size of the previous season, which was similar to other recent Panini collections, like Liga Este, Calciatori and Fifa 365. Special features of the Futbol Argentino 2018/2019 are the club shirt stickers printed on a fabric material in tissue. 
The album begins with the program of the season and two introductory stickers: the trophy of the season and the official champion patch (tissue). The 26 competing clubs are shown in alphabetical order and they count 15 stickers displaced over two pages: the club badge (shiny sticker), the home shirt (tissue) and 13 players. All the teams have the same number of stickers with no exception for the main clubs, which in some collections in the past could count on more player stickers. The album ends with the last club (Velez), without including the second division or extra sections.

Panini Futbol Colombiano 2010


The Colombian championship in 2010 was divided in two tournaments: Liga Postobon I (from January to May) and Liga Postobon II (from July to December). The Club Deportivo Junior won the first tournament defeating La Equidad in the finals (1-0 and 3-1) with two goals of the championship top-scorer Carlos Bacca (12 goals together with Carlos Renteria). In the second tournament, Once Caldas won the finals against Deportes Tolima. Top-scorers were Wilder Medina (Deportes Tolima) and Dayro Moreno (Once Caldas) with 16 goals.
Panini released only one official sticker collection for the season 2010, covering both tournaments. The album begins with the table of contents and the first sticker on the top right corner showing a dog holding the official ball of the season. The 18 competing teams are shown in alphabetical order. Each club is displaced over two pages with 16 player stickers, the team photo sticker, and the shining badge sticker.

Panini Apertura 2010 (Argentina)




The Apertura tournament 2010, which started on August 6 and ended on December 13, was the first championship of the season 2010/2011, concluded by the Clausura tournament in early 2011. Estudiantes won the title with 45 points after 19 games. The top goalscorers of the season were Santiago Silva (Velez Sarsfield) and Denis Stracqualursi (Tigre) with 11 goals. The league included some big names, like Riquelme, Veron, and Ortega. 
The official Panini album of the tournament 2010 follows the album Apertura 2009, whereas official albums of the Clausura tournaments 2009 or 2010 were not released. The simple graphics of the album is compensated by quality stickers, as the collection includes metallic badges, team shirts, and players in action. The first two pages of the album include the program of the season, the club titles, and the champions Clausura 2010 with a four sticker puzzle of the winners (Argentinos Juniors). Then the 20 clubs of Primera Division are shown in alphabetical with 16 stickers (for the six main clubs) or 14 stickers (for the other clubs) displaced over two pages. These stickers are the metallic club badge, the team shirt, and 14 (or 12) players in action with player details printed on the stickers. 







Clubs of Primera B Nacional (the second Argentinian division) have a total of four stickers: the metallic badge, the team shirt, and the team photo composed by two stickers.
