The official UEFA Champions League 2024/2025 sticker collection marks the 10th consecutive album released by Topps since 2016. This edition stands out as the best in the series, boasting high-quality stickers and a hardcover album available in Europe. This is a significant improvement over the widely criticized release of the Topps Euro 2024 sticker collection.
The Champions League sticker album opens with an introductory page outlining the contents of the collection, featuring three stickers: the Topps logo, the UEFA Respect logo, and the album cover. Before the competing teams are introduced, there is a two-page spread for the "Team of the Season 2024," which includes 24 shiny stickers of the best men's and women's players of the year.
The teams in the 2024/2025 edition are presented in alphabetical order. Due to the expansion of the competition to 36 clubs, each team is represented by only 12 stickers: a shiny club logo sticker and 11 player stickers. Additional players' photos are printed directly on the team pages. The captain’s sticker is a special shiny sticker.
Several additional sections add depth to the collection. "1st Stickers" includes 12 shiny stickers featuring young talents whose "first-ever sticker" appears in this collection. However, some players, such as Francesco Camarda and Endrick, have already been featured in previous Panini collections. "Memories That Stick" is a set of 12 stickers highlighting iconic moments from past Champions League editions. "Impact Signings" is a collection of 16 shiny stickers featuring notable summer transfers, including Dani Olmo (Barcelona), Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid), and Endrick (Real Madrid). "Roll of Honour" is a page dedicated to past Champions League winners, featuring shiny stickers of the men's and women's trophies. "Ones to Watch" is a section that focuses on the Women's Champions League, showcasing 16 shiny stickers of standout players. The album concludes with the "Energy" stickers, which eight high-quality special stickers of star players (Mbappé, Lamine Yamal, Viktor Gyökeres, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Xavi Simons, Florian Wirtz, and Bukayo Saka), and Youth League section, which includes three stickers featuring the UEFA Youth League logo, the 2024 final (Olympiacos 3-0 Milan), and standout player Rodrigo Mora
In total, the collection consists of 531 stickers needed to complete the album. Additionally, the "Energy" and "1st Stickers" are also available in limited-edition versions with different parallel colors. Rare relic jersey stickers can also be found as exclusive limited cards.
