ADIDAS CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINALE
The World Cup has seen both players and coaches have much to say about the Adidas Jabulani ball. With that, we wait to see how they react to the new ‘Finale’ – the official ball of the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League season.
The ball returns with the Champions League star motif – this time in what Adidas call ‘White/Satellite/Night Sky’. It is the eleventh ball Adidas have created for the UEFA Champions League and boasts technology such as “revolutionary Thermal Bonding Technology” which means it has no stitching nor seams.
The Champions League has provided some very entertaining football over the years and we hope that with the new Finale 11 we will see plenty of goals come the new season.
