The Champions League returned with some great explosive action, and since the winter break there have been some new boot releases to show off...
|
ARJEN ROBBEN
adidas F50i football boots
We can't get enough of Robben at the moment! But that's because he's keeping us amused with his choice of playing gear, against Fiorentina Robben sported the new scarlet F50's with some matching gloves, standing out against his all white kit and leggings!

HULK
Mizuno Wave Ignitus football boots
A unique name, a unique player and now a pair of unique football boots. Hulk was wearing the Mizuno Wave Ignitus football boots, a brand new innovative boot that is set to be officially unveiled soon, but you can check out our exclusive preview.

MAHAMADOU DIARRA
adidas Predator X football boots
Diarra has returned from international duty and the African Cup of Nations, and is continuing to wear his customised adidas Predator X football boots. The unique colourway of Diarra's Predator football boots is a tribute to the national colours of his beloved Mali.

DIEGO CONTENTO
adidas adiPure II football boots
Continuing the bespoke football boots theme was Diego Contento for Bayern Munich. Contento was playing in some adiPure II football boots, that had a very simple but very striking white/red colourway to match the colours of Bayern Munich.
|
|
|
SAMIR NASRI
adidas F50i football boots
Nasri is another player who has chosen to adopt the stand-out Champions League adidas F50 football boots, which perfectly match his Arsenal strip. And despite the new colourway, Nasri has continued to wear the leather upper.
|
|
|
SOL CAMPBELL
adidas Copa Mundial football boots
Sol Campbell scored in consecutive Champions League games for Arsenal (, although the games were over three and a half years apart!). And Campbell was playing in a pair of old school Copa Mundial football boots, which are still a quality leather performance boot, and it looked like he had a mixed-ground sole-plate.
|
|
|
KAKA
adidas adiPure III football boots
Real Madrid's Kaka was sporting the brand new Champions League adiPure III football boots, and we couldn't think of a better candidate to debut these boots. Kaka embodies all the qualities of the adiPure range; touch, class, technique and style!
|
|
|
JEAN II MAKOUN
Lotto Zhero Gravity football boots
The Zhero Gravity football boots haven't quite made it as mainstream boots, but then perhaps they don't have a Nike swoosh on the side. Although, Makoun's strike against Real Madrid was a great advert for what these boots can do.
|
|
|
GONZALO HIGUAIN
adidas F50i football boots
We think Higuain is the first player to wear the leather versions of the new Champions League adidas F50i football boots, and they certainly looked stunning with his Real Madrid kit. Higuain had an impressive game and was unlucky not to score.
|
|
|
WAYNE ROONEY
Nike T90 Laser III football boots
Man-of-the-moment Wayne Rooney just can't stop scoring! And with Torres out injured, Rooney is single-handedly championing the T90 Laser III football boots. Milan were unable to cope with Rooney's workrate and skill, which he was rewarded with by scoring two goals.
|
|
|
DAVID BECKHAM
adidas Predator DB PS ClimaCool football boots
A surprise boot choice from David Beckham, as he changed back into his PowerSwerve ClimaCool football boots. We're not sure if this is linked in any way to Beckham playing in the Milan centre midfield for the first time this season?
|
|
|
ANDREA PIRLO
Nike Tiempo Legend III football boots
We were intrigued by Andrea Pirlo's football boots, because for the last few games it appears he has been wearing a new sole-plate. On closer inspection Pirlo's sole-plate could be carbon fibre, which would coincide with some rumours going round cyberspace at the moment.
|
|
|
MICHEL BASTOS
adidas Predator X football boots
The colourway for the new Champions League adidas Predator X football boots is a perfect match for the Lyon home kit. Worn by Bastos against Real Madrid, the versatile Brazilian was unlucky not to be on the scoresheet, but as far as we're concerned he scored points for style!
|
|
|
CLARENCE SEEDORF
adidas adiPure III football boots
The gold adiPure III football boots are a classy option, that have been particularly popular with the players, including Benzema, Milito and Lampard. And Seedorf fully did these boot justice, with a great touch as he flicked the ball through his legs to score.
|
|
CRISTIANO RONALDO
Nike Vapor Superfly football boots
We're loving Cristiano's boots, because although they may seem a bit loud, the black and yellow Superfly's actually match the black and yellow detailing of his Real Madrid shirt. Ronaldo was again on form pulling out the tricks and was unlucky not to score from a long range effort.
|
|
ALY CISSOKHO
adidas F50i football boots
When we watched the game between Lyon and Real Madrid, it was incredible how much the scarlet adidas F50i football boots really stood out! Cissokho opted for the synthetic options, which despite the original design no longer feature the Champions League star.
