Cristiano Ronaldo—along with rival Lionel Messi—defined an entire era of the Beautiful Game. The boy whose dribbling and pace wowed the world on the wing at Manchester United morphed into CR7, the man at Real Madrid. A physically imposing, complete forward with 919 goals and counting in a career that continues in Saudi Arabia and with the Portuguese national team. He owns five Ballon d’Or trophies, second all-time only to Messi. He’s also a five-time winner of the Champions League.

The Grail, the interactive, year-long quest across the Topps soccer universe, continued last Friday with the much-anticipated release of 2023/24 Topps Merlin UEFA Club Competitions. The Grail, a competition for collectors in which they chase nine Christiano Ronaldo grail cards, is making the turn for home. Two Grail cards can be found in 2023/24 Topps Merlin UEFA Club Competitions (pictured above and below), meaning that as of Friday, eight of the nine cards needed to capture The Grail are now there for the chasing. The Grail consists of nine stunningly designed Ronaldo cards that, when combined, serve as a beautiful career retrospective of the UEFA Champions League’s all-time top scorer’s story in European competition. The final Grail card (pictured towards the bottom of this article) will be found in 2023/24 Topps UEFA Stadium Club Chrome set, beginning on October 23. And, while almost all the cards are there to be had, it’s not too late to start your quest and go for the Grail!

Happy to see this amazing grail getting pulled at a local card shop by a father and son that are big fans of both players. Two of the greatest soccer players of this generation and the biggest GOAT debate between them.

Who's the GOAT, Messi or Ronaldo?
