Topps Champions 2019

The official sticker collection of the UEFA Champions League 2018/2019 was released by Topps with an album including 595 stickers and a special poster with 16 stickers available only in Italy. The collection has very similar layout and graphics of the previous editions, starting from the division of the teams by country and not following the group stage, due to the early release of the album.

The collection begins with an introductory page including the contents and two shiny stickers: the Champions League logo and trophy. Then the 32 clubs are shown starting with the 26 clubs directly qualified to the group stage. For these clubs there are 19 stickers over two pages: the club badge (shiny), the home/away shirt (shiny), the captain (shiny), the star player in action (big shiny sticker), and 15 stickers of players. The last six clubs from the play-offs were added in a second time and they have only 16 stickers on one page: the badge (shiny), the home/away shirt (shiny) and 14 players. At the end of the album there are three short sections including one sticker each: the road to the final in Madrid. the Youth League 2018 and the Women's Champions League 2018.

The special exclusive poster released in Italy includes 16 players of the four qualified Italian teams: Juventus, Napoli, Roma, and Inter. Those stickers were released in four batches with an Italian newspaper.
