On November 5, 2024, Rayan Cherki came on as a substitute in the 79th minute and scored in the 91st to seal Manchester City’s 4-1 victory over Borussia Dortmund. A dribble to the edge of the box, a right-footed shot into the lower right corner, and a first Champions League goal that went down in history.
Topps captures this moment with the Topps Now UCL #48 card, released exclusively on game day in an ultra-limited print run. This Gold Foil version, numbered 19/50, is one of the rarest parallels in the series, featuring a distinctive gold finish that highlights Cherki’s iconic celebration, arms spread wide as he faces the crowd at the Etihad.
At just 20 years old at the time of the match, Cherki has established himself as one of the most promising talents in European soccer. This card is much more than just a collectible: it’s the official record of the first chapter of his European career.
