2021–22 Topps Merlin UEFA Champions League continues the return of the Merlin brand, combining the classic fantasy-inspired aesthetic with Topps’ vibrant chromium finish. A standout among UEFA releases, Merlin offers a mix of colourful refractor parallels, bold insert designs, and autograph hits, delivering both nostalgia and modern appeal for collectors. Each Hobby box includes one autograph, along with a range of chase inserts and refractors.

The 150-card base set covers the best of the UEFA Champions League, featuring veteran stars, rookies, and emerging talents. The parallel rainbow includes more than 20 refractor variations, from Refractors (1:3 packs) and Speckle (/150) to Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Red (/10), and Superfractors (1/1). Hobby-exclusive parallels include Speckle (/150), Green (/99), and Gold Atomic (/50), adding further chase value.

Autographs centre around Base Autographs, which mirror the main card design and come in a full array of parallels such as Blue (/75), Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Red (/10), and Superfractor (1/1). Hobby boxes may also contain Merlin’s Match Ball Signatures, a rare autograph memorabilia insert limited to Orange (/25), Red (/10), and Superfractor (1/1) parallels.

Merlin’s inserts are known for their creativity, and the 2021–22 release is no exception. Sets include U23 Stars (1:6 packs), Prophecy Fulfilled (1:9), Ageless Alchemy (1:18), and the Renaissance case hit (1:216), featuring stained-glass-inspired artwork. Each insert line includes Gold (/50), Orange (/25), Red (/10), and Superfractor (1/1) parallels, with autograph versions available for select cards.

With its chromium base, artistic inserts, and rich autograph checklist, Topps Merlin 2021–22 blends fantasy-inspired design with UEFA star power, offering one of the most visually dynamic Chrome releases in football collecting.
