Sports goods giant Adidas has officially unveiled the new ‘blue and bold’ Champions League ball for the upcoming 2018-19 tournament.

Adidas have revealed the ball which will be used for the coming season, which maintains the instantly recognisable star-shaped panels.

However, rather than the usual black and white look, this year's ball features large blue panels, with the stars in white.

Road to Madrid.
