The MCU has arrived in EA Sports FC 24… kind of. A new partnership has seen many greats of the Champions League be reimagined as Marvel comicbook superheroes, each receiving their own special edition cards.

Nineteen Ultimate Team heroes have been selected from their accomplishments during the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Women's Champions League, including the likes of Alex Scott, Gianluca Vialli, Vincent Kompany, Sonia Bompastor, Dimitar Berbatov and more.

Marvel has designed a striking image for its base card in EA FC 24 showing them in a superhero pose alongside a specially selected superhero name.

On top of this, all UCL/UWCL hero cards will have improved ratings compared to their base items, depending on their memorable European moment. Head below for all the details:
