Frankfurt’s epic European Cup victory makes a strong defender even better in FIFA 22

In the exciting Europa League final, Eintracht Frankfurt prevailed against Glasgow Rangers. This is also noticeable in FIFA 22, because a Frankfurt defender gets a big upgrade.

A dramatic finale: The Europa League final took place in Seville on Wednesday evening. There Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt met Glasgow Rangers.

In a gripping football game, both teams gave nothing. The first setback by Aribo in the 57th minute equalized Frankfurt’s Borré in the 69th minute. That was enough to get into overtime.

In that, both teams failed to score, after which it actually went to penalties for the title. There Lenz, Hrustic, Kamada, Kostic and finally Borré converted on the Frankfurt side. On the Rangers side, on the other hand, Ramsey missed a shot.

After Borré’s final penalty it was official: Eintracht Frankfurt, eleventh in the current Bundesliga season, is the Europa League winner.

For the Frankfurt fans, winning the title is of course a huge reason to celebrate. And also in FIFA 22 the victory has a positive effect.

Showdown da Costa gets major upgrade in FIFA 22

What is this card? Danny da Costa was one of two showdown cards that could be secured via an SBC leading up to the match. As always with the showdown cards, there was also a counterpart – Rangers centre-back Goldson.

The highlight: The player whose team would win the Europa League final gets a two-point overall upgrade. Since Eintracht Frankfurt has prevailed, in this case it’s because of Costa – even if he didn’t play at all on Wednesday evening.

With this two-point upgrade, da Costa should become an absolute top defender. Because even his 90s card actually had everything you want from a strong defender who is supposed to prevent goals.

Da Costa scores with a lot of speed, defensive power, physique, but also technique.

The upgrade is not online yet. But it shouldn’t be too long before the extra points appear on the map.

So if you got Costa there, you can look forward to the Frankfurt victory again. Goldson owners, on the other hand, get nothing when it comes to an upgrade.

As a 92 defender, da Costa can also keep up with the new TOTS cards. On Friday, the event continues with new maps – check out the full TOTS schedule here.
