The Ragnarok: After Daybreak campaign continues to gain momentum in EA SPORTS FC Mobile, and the latest drop is a massive one for defensive enthusiasts! A brand-new Road to Hero Challenge Mode has arrived, featuring none other than Italian legend Andrea Barzagli. Players can now earn his 104 OVR red-ranked Hero card through gameplay - no packs, no Shard required.
