In the thrilling final of the Europa League, Eintracht Frankfurt triumphed over the Glasgow Rangers. This is also evident in FIFA 22, as a Frankfurt defender receives a significant upgrade.
A dramatic final: On Wednesday evening, the Europa League final took place in Sevilla. There, Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt faced the Glasgow Rangers.
In a captivating football match, both teams gave no quarter. The first setback from Aribo in the 57th minute was equalized by Frankfurt’s Borré in the 69th minute. This was enough to proceed to extra time.
In extra time, neither team scored again, leading to a penalty shootout for the title. On the Frankfurt side, Lenz, Hrustic, Kamada, Kostic, and finally Borré converted their penalties. On the Rangers side, however, Ramsey missed his shot.
After Borré’s final penalty, it was official: Eintracht Frankfurt, the eleventh-placed team in the current Bundesliga season, is the Europa League winner.
For the Frankfurt fans, the title win is certainly a huge reason to celebrate. And in FIFA 22, the victory has a positive effect as well.
Showdown da Costa receives a strong upgrade in FIFA 22
What kind of card is this? Danny da Costa was one of two showdown cards that could be secured through an SBC before the match. As always with showdown cards, there was also a counterpart – defender Goldson from the Rangers.
The twist: The player whose team wins the Europa League final receives a two-point overall upgrade. Since Eintracht Frankfurt prevailed, it is da Costa in this case – even though he didn’t play on Wednesday evening.
With this two-point upgrade, da Costa is likely to become an absolute top defender. His 90-rated card already had everything you want from a strong defender, who is supposed to prevent goals.
Da Costa impresses with high pace, defensive strength, physicality, and also technique.
So far, the upgrade has not yet gone live. However, it shouldn’t be long before the extra points appear on the card.
Therefore, those who got da Costa can be extra happy about the Frankfurt win. Goldson owners, on the other hand, will miss out on any upgrade.
As a 92-rated defender, da Costa can also compete with the new TOTS cards. The event will continue on Friday with new cards – here you can find the complete TOTS schedule.
