From Hero to Ultimate Team Star: Trubin Gets a Special EA FC 26 MOTM Card

Anatoliy Trubin’s unforgettable goal against Real Madrid has now been immortalized in the virtual world of football. EA FC 26 has rewarded the Benfica goalkeeper with a special Man of the Match (MOTM) card in Ultimate Team, celebrating his extraordinary performance.

The special card features major upgrades compared to Trubin’s base version, with improvements across all key attributes and an overall rating increase of eight points, raising him to 88 OVR. Fans were particularly drawn to his gold PlayStyles, including Foot Save and Power Header. The latter is rarely assigned to goalkeepers and is usually reserved for tall strikers such as Olivier Giroud, making Trubin’s card especially unique.

The enhanced stats quickly turned the MOTM card into one of the most sought-after items in the game. Players are snapping it up at the maximum price of 150,000 coins, leaving the transfer market almost completely depleted of available listings.

Trubin’s in-game recognition follows his dramatic real-life moment, as his goal in the 90+8th minute sealed a 4–2 win for Benfica over Real Madrid and secured the club’s place in the Champions League playoffs.
