Panini Este - Liga 2023/2024 (Spain)

 

The official sticker collection of LaLiga was released in August 2023, before the beginning of the season. Due to the early release, additional stickers were added to the new boxes along the season, with a total of four different series. The collection includes the clubs of LaLiga with a variable number of stickers. Each club has space for 20 stickers in the album: the shiny badge, the coach, and 18 players. However, for some spots there are multiple stickers. These can be of two types: "A/B" stickers (with the choice between two stickers) or additional stickers called "Coloca" to replace players that left the club. 

The latest transfers are collected in the last part of the album, in the section called "Ultimos Fichajes". This section counts 69 stickers, including the three stickers of the top signings ("Top Fichajes") that this season are Sergio Ramos, Jude Bellingham, and Ilkay Gundogan.

In the album there is also a section with 22 "Sinergy" stickers, which show some of the best pairs of players of the tournament, like Vinicius and Rodrygo for Real Madrid, and the section with the 22 club badge stickers of LaLiga 2.

This collection features also different extra materials. In the album there is space for the two "conmemorativos" stickers (mentioned in the first page of the album), which were released with the magazine Jugon nr. 198, whereas the 80 "chicle" stickers (last pages of the album) could be found in specific chewing gums. Randomly in sticker packets there are also 10 gold stickers, which have no space in the album and can be collected separately. In the magazine Jugon nr. 201 there are also six new limited stickers, four "Sinergy" stickers  and two "Extra Gold" stickers (Yamal and Bellingham).

There is also an update set ("Mercado de invierno + Actualizaciones") with the winter transfers, which  was released in three batches with the Jugon nr. 204, 205 and 206. This set is composed by 42 new stickers and the pages to stick them.

Real Madrid won the Liga 2024 with 95 points, second place for Barcelona and third for the big surprise of the season, Girona. The top goalscorer of the tournament was Dovbyk (Girona) with 24 goals.

Panini Liga I 2017 (Romania)

 

Liga I 2016-17 is the third (and so far last) album of the Romanian football published by Panini, after the previous editions in 2015 and 2016. This collection includes also an update set with 32 stickers of transferred players to be placed in a specific section of the album.

The album begins with the contents and the list of league champions. In these first two pages there are three metallic stickers: the album cover, the Panini emblem and the league logo. The 14 competing clubs are then introduced in the badge and teams section. Here there are three stickers per club: the metallic badge and the team photo composed by two stickers. Before the presentation of the squads, there is a page with the calendar of the season, including the metallic sticker of the official ball.

The teams are shown in alphabetical order. For each team there are 21 stickers of coach and players. Viitorul Costanza won the Liga I 2016-2017 and the Albanian striker Azden Llullaku (Gaz Metan Medias) was the top scorer of the tournament with 16 goals.

In the last part of the album there is one section for the rising stars of the league, with 14 stickers of players in action (one per team). Here we can mention the presence of Dennis Man (Steaua Bucarest) who moved to Parma in 2021. The last three pages of the album are dedicated to the transfer update. Here there is space for 32 stickers of players (numbers A1 to A32) released in one update set during the season.
