Panini Futebol 2020-21

The official sticker collection for the 2020-21 Portuguese football season features all 18 Liga NOS clubs, along with special sections, totaling 418 stickers to complete the album. Additionally, there are 27 update stickers (known as "BIS") that replace specific players from the original lineup.

The collection begins with an introductory page containing the contents and a foreword, though no stickers are included here. Each of the 18 Liga NOS clubs is introduced with a double-page spread showcasing the club’s badge as a shiny sticker. The teams are then presented in alphabetical order, each occupying two pages with 18 stickers.

The second half of the album consists of three special sections. Duplas Mágicas highlights 16 stickers featuring the league’s standout duos, such as Vertonghen-Rúben Dias (Benfica) and Marega-Taremi (Porto). Craques Liga NOS includes 24 premium golden-action stickers showcasing some of the league’s top players—these are particularly impressive in quality. The final section, Últimas Aquisições, features 36 stickers dedicated to the latest transfers, including João Mário and Otamendi. The 27 "BIS" update stickers are labeled Substituição and indicate on the back which sticker they are meant to replace.

In the 2020-21 Liga NOS season, Sporting CP secured the championship with 85 points, followed by Porto with 80 points and Benfica with 76. The league’s top goalscorer was Pedro Gonçalves (Sporting) with 22 goals.

Panini Tour de France 2021

Tour de France 2021 is the third Panini sticker album dedicated to the Tour de France. The collection starts with the presentation of the race, for a total of 44 stickers: two stickers are dedicated to the mascot Maxoo and 42 stickers to the stages of the 2021 race. For each stage there are two stickers, one with the venue and one with a memory from a past Tour de France.

The 22 teams taking part into the 2021 Tour de France are then shown in alphabetical order. For each team there are 14 stickers: the logo, the team jersey, the bike, the team photo, and 10 riders. After the team presentation, there is one last page with the Tour de France winners. This section does not feature any stickers.

For this collection there is also an update set of 25 stickers with the stage and jersey winners. There is no space on the album for these stickers that should be stored separately. There is also a hardcover version of the album, which was released inside a collector's box.

In the 2021 race, The Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar secured his second consecutive Tour de France win, finishing ahead of Jonas Vingegaard (not included in the album!) and Richard Carapaz. Pogačar claimed also the King of the Mountains title and the White Jersey, whereas Mark Cavendish got the Green Jersey.

In the following we show an empty album (Colombian version) with the complete loose set of stickers.
