We recently sat down with the Borussia Dortmund star to chat about his relationship with PUMA, football boots and who he thinks should win this season's Ballon d'Or. Check out what he had to say as he spoked exclusively to SoccerBible.

PUMA drop their second release to the re-worked PowerCat 1.12 SL range. As worn by Cesc Fabregas in Barcelona’s opening Champions League group match against Spartak Moscow, the stylish new design succeeds the popular White/Red/Limoges Euro 2012 colourway.

Gael Clichy is the final piece in the PUMA jigsaw, a world class full-back completing a starting XI to rival any brand or team in the world. The latest high-profile player to join the PUMA family, SoccerBible was invited to Manchester for an exclusive first interview with the Premier League star...

Released in both an SL and standard PowerCat edition (both featured in our photography), the latest design features bright pops of bold colour on a traditional leather black upper. Marco Reus will be joined by other house-hold PowerCat names including Nemanja Vidic, Tomas Rosicky and Nigel De Jong.

Puma add to their catalogue of summer football boots with the launch of the stunning PUMA PowerCat 1.12 SL – a reworked and lighter version of their popular power boot. The boot will be worn by Cesc Fabregas, Phil Jones, Nigel De Jong, Marco Reus and Gianluigi Buffon at the European Championships.

Michael Carrick has been a continuous face for the PUMA PowerCat range. We recently bagged a pair of his match-worn boots worn by the Manchester United & England midfielder during United's away trip to Liverpool on 23/09/12.

It was another action-packed weekend of European football as teams continue to find form at this early stage of the season. It's also that time of the year where new colourways seem to be everywhere you look. See which boots and players have made our highlight reel this week.

A Premier League appearance for the Nike GS, Manchester City striker scores wearing Predator DB colourway and Falcao stakes his claim as PUMA's best player. All the latest bootspotting headlines from around the globe...

Just four teams remain in the 2012 European Championships. Portugal, Germany, Spain and Italy each survived an eventful quarter-final weekend that saw England crash out of the tournament in familiar circumstances. The race for top-scoring boot may seem like a one-boot race with the Vapor VIII leading the charge, but there are still other boots making headlines.

During his last season at Chelsea it was all about eggs and omelettes for Jose Mourinho and now at Real Madrid it is all about the three black sheep. Despite all of this, the self styled ‘Special One’ or indeed the ‘Only One’ as he prefers to be known now is looking at an unprecedented third Champions League with a third different club as the end of the season approaches.
