Panini Bundesliga 2025 (Germany)

 

The official sticker collection dedicated to the Bundesliga 2024/25 season, published by Topps, once again covers both professional German leagues: the Bundesliga and the 2. Bundesliga. The album contains a total of 468 stickers to be physically collected, but the sticker numbering in the album goes up to 518, because several stickers featuring two players on the same image are assigned two separate numbers. This applies in particular to the “Schaltzentrale” half-size stickers in the Bundesliga sections and to the 2. Bundesliga player stickers, each depicting two players while counting as two numbered stickers.

The album opens with an introductory section of five stickers: the Topps logo, the Bundesliga logo, the Bundesliga trophy, the 2. Bundesliga trophy, and the official match ball. In the next page, there is the section “Topps Now – Die drei Traumtore”, featuring three stickers celebrating spectacular goals of the season. The chosen goalscorers are Harry Kane, Moris Broschinski, and Alejandro Grimaldo, each represented with an action image that highlights their memorable moments.

The core of the album is dedicated to the 18 Bundesliga clubs, presented in alphabetical order, with each club occupying four pages and being represented by a total of 22 stickers. For every team, the section includes the shiny club badge, the home shirt, a “Matchwinner” shiny action sticker, a “Wunderkind” sticker dedicated to a young talent, the “Schaltzentrale” sticker composed of two half-size action stickers, three action stickers (one of them shiny), and 14 player portrait stickers.

For each Bundesliga club, the Wunderkind sticker is available not only as a regular sticker but also as a glitter version, visually identical but fully shiny. These glitter Wunderkind stickers are exclusive to special three-sticker bags found in multipacks.

At the center of the album, Topps has placed a two-page Legends section, consisting of four shiny stickers dedicated to iconic players of German football history: Paul Breitner, Dimitar Berbatov, Oliver Bierhoff, and Rudi Völler. After the Bundesliga clubs, the album includes the section titled “This is just football but it means everything”, which features six action stickers capturing emotional and symbolic moments from the season.

The 2. Bundesliga is included at the end of the album with a more compact presentation, as clubs are displayed two teams per page and each team is represented by three stickers: a shiny club badge and two player stickers, each depicting two players for a total of four players per club.

In addition to the standard stickers, the collection features parallel numbered stickers of regular player portrait stickers, distinguished by blue or black borders and randomly inserted into packets, adding a limited-edition collectible dimension. There are no update stickers, and the album is issued in softcover format, without a hardcover edition.

From a sporting perspective, the album documents a season won by Bayern München, who claimed the Bundesliga 2024/25 title, while Harry Kane finished the championship as top goalscorer with 26 goals, further cementing his central role in the collection, notably appearing in the “Die drei Traumtore” section.

Panini Foot 2025

 

Foot 2024/2025 is the 50th Panini official sticker collection dedicated to French football, covering the Ligue 1, while the Ligue 2 is again part of a separate digital collection. Foot 2024/2025 features 18 clubs for a total of 576 stickers and is also available in a hardcover album, although without the “coffret collector” format that characterized the previous recent editions.

The album opens with an introductory page featuring the table of contents, a foreword by Zinédine Zidane, and two shiny stickers: the Ligue 1 Trophy and a celebrative Zidane sticker from Foot 92, creating an immediate nostalgic link with the history of the collection.

One of the most interesting sections of this edition is “Le Palmarès de l’ère Panini”, dedicated to the history of the Foot series. Across these pages, Panini presents the 50 covers of the Foot albums starting from 1976, of which only 10 are included as stickers.

The Ligue 1 teams are then shown in alphabetical order, with each club occupying four pages and including 25 stickers composed of the shiny club badge, the home shirt made with fabric material, and 23 player portrait stickers, three of which are shiny. 

Between the club sections, several thematic inserts enrich the album and add visual variety. The “Légendes 1975–2025” section features 20 memorable stickers celebrating iconic players from the history of French football and the Foot series, including figures such as Zidane, Deschamps and Mbappé, effectively bridging past and present. Additional shiny action-sticker sections are dedicated to experienced players, strikers, rising stars and players to watch, through the sections “Les Expérimentés”, “Les Buteurs”, “Les Prometteurs” and “Les À Suivre”, which together highlight different player profiles and help break the monotony of portrait-only pages.

After the last Ligue 1 club, the album includes two pages dedicated to referees in the “L’Arbitrage” section, followed by the calendar of the season accompanied by a sticker showing PSG celebrating the previous league title.

The final part of the album is the traditional “Mercato d’Hiver” section, released with the update set in April 2025. This update includes 46 new player stickers, among which Khvicha Kvaratskhelia stands out as one of the most notable additions. The update set also provides mini-stickers labeled “Joueur transféré”, to be placed next to players who left their clubs during the season, as well as stickers celebrating the end-of-season awards, intended to be positioned in correspondence with the relevant player stickers already present in the album.

From a sporting perspective, the collection documents a season won by Paris Saint-Germain, while the title of top scorer was shared by Greenwood and Dembélé, both finishing the league with 21 goals.
