With the 2023/2024 season, Topps expand their Champions League album to 741 stickers, with additional parallel stickers of different rarity for the "impact" player of each team. There are, however, no updates or "live" stickers, like in the previous edition.
The album begins with the contents and the first three stickers: the topps logo, the UCL trophy and the UEFA Respect sticker. Before presenting the teams of the 2023/2024 Champions League, there is a two-page section with the 2022/2023 "Team of the season". Here we find, for both men and women, 11 shining action stickers of the players being part of the team of the season and the sticker of the "Player of the season" (Rodri for the men and Bonmatì for the women). In the team of the season there are eight Manchester City players (who won the tournament), two Inter players (Bastoni and Di Marco, who reached the final), and Vinicius.
The 32 teams taking part in the 2023/2024 Champions League are shown in alphabetical order. For each team there are 19 stickers displaced over two pages: the shiny club badge, the Superstriker (shiny sticker), the Impact player (shiny sticker), the Next Gen player, and 15 player portrait stickers. The Impact player stickers have nine parallel versions: gold, green (limited to 299), purple (250), orange (199), pink (150), blue (99), red (50), diamond (25), pearl (5), platinum (1).
In the last part of the album there are five special sections. "Starball history" includes 23 stickers with the official ball of the Champions League finals since 2001. "Memories that stick" is a four-page section with 48 sticker of the most memorable Champions League matches of the past. "Mega Signings" features 23 stickers of new transfers for the 2023/2024 season; here we find the sticker of Harry Kane (from Tottenham to Bayern Munchen for 100 M€) and Jude Bellingham (from Borussia Dortmund to Real Madrid for 103 M€). In the section "Vote for the G.O.A.T." we find the signed stickers of the 11 greatest players voted by Topps collectors: Buffon, Zanetti, Cannavaro, Maldini, Roberto Carlos, Zidane, Pirlo, Iniesta, Ronaldo Nazario, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Ronaldinho. The album ends with a page dedicated to the 2023 Youth League won by AZ against Hajduk; this section features one sticker of Meerdink (AZ), the top goalscorer of the tournament.
