The season 2006-2007 is the first and only in which Juventus was not taking part to the Serie A, after their relegation to Serie B due to the football scandal. Internazionale dominated the Serie A, winning with 22 points more than the second-place Roma. During the season, Inter broke also the record of consecutive wins, with 17 games in a row. Francesco Totti won the fight of the goalscorers with 26 goals, six more than Lucarelli (Livorno) with 20 goals.
The Panini album of the season looks similar to the previous one, judging for the cover. However, it is very different inside. Due to the presence of Juventus, the Serie B section is larger and players have for the first time a full sticker. Compared to the Serie A clubs they miss three players, the coach, the star player sticker and the winter update. This huge collection counts more than 1000 stickers to make it complete, including also the update stickers.
The album opens directly with the Serie A section, with no introductory stickers. Serie A clubs are displaced over three pages with 22 total stickers and space for six extra update stickers. The special shiny stickers are the club badge and the star player in action.
Inter won the Serie A 2006/2007 with 97 points

The Serie B section is introduced by the calendar of the season. Clubs are shown in alphabetical order with 18 stickers over two pages: the badge (shiny sticker), the team photo, and 16 players. Two out of the 16 players are stickers coming from the update set released in the spring 2007.
At the end of the season Juventus, Napoli and Genoa got promoted to the Serie A, with Del Piero being the best scorer of the league with 20 goals.
The division Serie C1 2006/2007 was composed by two groups of 18 clubs each. The album includes the stickers of the the team and badge (four badges per sticker) of each club.
