What's this I hear about a free FC 25 TOTY Zidane card?

You hear correctly. To mark the release of Team Of The Year, anyone who plays FC 25 between January 17 and February 14 gets a free 90-rated untradeable Zinedine Zidane TOTY 2002 Icon card. Qualified FC 25 Club Members also receive an exclusive Evolution that enables them to upgrade their item to a 94 overall rating.

Why's this happening? "Celebrating one of many iconic moments, in the 2002 UEFA Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen, Zizou lurked around the edge of tvhe box before meeting a looping Roberto Carlos cross with a pinpoint left-footed volley that’s now etched into the minds of Madridistas and football fans around the world, says EA. "The strike epitomised Zizou’s footballing legacy, leading his team to silverware with unmatched grace and control on the pitch."
