EAFC Mobile leaks hint at New Heroes leaked for Season 3 featuring Salgado, Quaresma, De Rossi, and more
EA FC Mobile Season 3 may be months away, but the hype has already begun on social media. According to trusted leaker @madridistaaFC, a fresh batch of Hero players is expected to make their debut in FC Mobile Season 3, following their confirmed inclusion in the upcoming EA Sports FC 26 console release. These retired legends may not have achieved in-game 'Icon' status but are celebrated for their unforgettable club and country contributions, and now, they're reportedly coming to EA FC Mobile. Let's take a look at the leaked names and what each could bring to the game. New EA FC Mobile Heroes rumored for Season 3 Leaker @Madridistaa, known for his accurate predictions across multiple EA FC platforms, has hinted at five new Hero players arriving in FC Mobile Season 3, all of whom have also been leaked for FC 26 on console and PC: Michel Salgado Ivan Zamorano Daniele De Rossi Pablo Aimar Ricardo Quaresma Let's break down each of the leaked names and why fans can be excited: Michel Salgado: This highly physical Spanish right-back is best known for his time at Real Madrid. Salgado was part of the Galacticos era and could be a solid defensive EA FC Mobile Hero with high aggression and stamina. Ivan Zamorano: A prominent Chilean striker from the '90s, especially during his time with Real Madrid and Inter Milan, Zamorano would bring heading ability, physical presence, and finishing finesse. Daniele De Rossi: The tough-tackling Italian central midfielder from AS Roma could be a great defensive engine card. Gamers can expect a high defensive work rate, interceptions, and long passing stats. Pablo Aimar: The magician from Valencia and Benfica, Aimar was known for his dribbling, flair, and creativity. If released, the Argentine will be a popular CAM option with high agility and playmaking traits. Ricardo Quaresma: A fan favorite for his flair and outside-the-foot Trivela shots, Quaresma could become one of the most entertaining RM/RW cards in the game with high skill moves and curve stats. If the rumor turns out to be true, the Portuguese former superstar's cards are destined for the in-game Trivela trait. What could these rumored additions mean for EA FC Mobile regulars? If this leak turns out to be accurate, as @madridistaaFC's track record suggests, then Season 3 will start strong, with multiple new Heroes alongside what's expected to be a revamped UI, chemistry system, and season refresh (not reset.) Heroes, even if they don't match the charisma of Icon cards, do provide nostalgic value and on-pitch effectiveness, often becoming key picks in event squads and for high OVR Exchange-fodder requirements. As always, it's important to take leaks with a pinch of salt until EA Sports' official announcement, but considering the source's credibility, this rumor has weight. If you're planning ahead for Season 3, these Hero names could soon be appearing in packs, events, and exchanges. EA may drop a teaser closer to the FC Mobile S3 reveal; until then, keep an eye on the in-game news tab and official channels.

El Clasico: Barcelona push the knife further into Real Madrid, inch closer to 28th La Liga title
Barcelona vs Real Madrid (AP Photo) NEW DELHI: "Madrid... Saluda Al Campeon (Madrid... Say hello to the Champions)" read the front page of Barcelona-based daily SPORT. "A lo Campeon! (Like champions)", said Mundo Deportivo, the other big sports daily in Barcelona . "Barca abraza la liga (Barcelona hug La Liga)" flashed Madrid-based AS. "Barca 'gana' la 28 (Barcelona win their 28th)" stated Marca. Mathematically, Barcelona have not won the Spanish league, but the writing is on the wall. With three matches remaining, they're seven points clear of arch rivals Real Madrid . Barca have built a five-match winning streak and been unbeaten in 16 league games, going back to December, when Real Madrid were two points ahead of Barcelona.

Barcelona, meanwhile, have racked up 44 points, owing to 14 wins and two draws. The clincher, the proverbial nail in the coffin for Real Madrid, came on Sunday as Barcelona won 4-3. Kylian Mbappe scored a hat-trick, including two goals in the first 14 minutes. He took his tally this season to 39 goals and broke the record for the most goals scored in a debut season at Real Madrid, going past Ivan Zamorano, who had netted 37 times in 1992-93. Yet, Madrid lost and are on the cusp of finishing the season without a trophy. What's worse from a Real Madrid perspective? Barcelona are on course to doing a domestic double, having beaten Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey final as well. The trophy count reads three if you also include the Spanish Super Cup , where, too, they beat Real Madrid in the title clash. Like the Spanish Super Cup final, the Copa del Rey final and much of the league season, Real Madrid's defensive frailties were exposed at the Olympic Stadium. And much like recent fixtures, Barcelona came from behind to win. The Catalans trailed 2-0 against Atletico Madrid and won 4-2. They were 1-3 behind versus Celta Vigo and won 4-3. They trailed 0-1 at Valladolid and won 2-1. In the Copa del Rey final, they were 1-2 down and won 3-2 in extra time. In the UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg, they trailed Inter 0-2 to stand 3-3 at full time. And in the second leg, they were 0-2 down to make it 3-2 before the Italians triumphed in extra time. These come-from-behind wins expose Barcelona's defensive issues, which didn't please Flick, but also pinpoint the massive turn in attacking structure and confidence compared to last season. Last season, Barcelona lost 1-2, 2-3 and 1-4 to Real Madrid in the league and Spanish Super Cup. This season, they triumphed in all four of the fixtures between these two -- 4-0, 4-3, 5-0 and 3-2. On Sunday, as Mbappe carried Los Blancos single-handedly, goals from Eric Garcia, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha denied him and Real Madrid a late chance in the title race. For Barcelona, despite conceding goals aplenty recently and bowing out of Europe in heartbreaking fashion, this season has seen huge progress. A team that lacked cohesion last season has found a new breath of life under Yamal, Pedri, Ferran, Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski. "They can't handle us this season," said Yamal two weeks ago. "Don't forget to 'like' this too," he mockingly posted on social media after this win, seemingly aimed at Jude Bellingham and former Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos, who had taken pleasure in Barcelona's Champions League exit. Except for a run of four losses in seven matches in November and December, Barcelona have been the best team in Spain this season, and few can argue against them being deserved champions. For Real Madrid, it is time to wipe the slate clean. Sure, they had their entire first-choice defensive lineup, with Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Antonio Rudiger and Ferland Mendy missing for this Clasico. Real's meek defence was summed up most brutally when makeshift full-back Lucas Vazquez was brushed off by Raphinha, went on to exchange passes with Ferran Torres before scoring to make it 4-2. Despite pushing the title this far into the season, Real Madrid haven't looked like a complete package this year. From back to front, Carlo Ancelotti has struggled to find a structure for this team. Mbappe, Vinicius Jr. and Bellingham have not combined well, and the team has looked devoid of ideas -- none more than in their laboured exit against Arsenal in Europe. From back to midfield, the gaps created by the goodbyes to Toni Kroos and Nacho Fernandez were not filled in the transfer window and it resulted in large gaps that have been brutally exposed by the opposition teams. With Ancelotti confirmed as the Brazil manager and Xabi Alonso strongly tipped to take over, as soon as next week, the challenge will be in building a better structure with Trent Alexander-Arnold a near certainty to bolster the defence/wings. Because despite scoring 39 and shattering the club's goalscoring record, Mbappe, who has been Real's best player this year, has had a disappointing season -- much like the club.

Kylian Mbappe breaks record for most goals scored in a debut season for Real Madrid
Kylian Mbappe on Sunday broke the record for most goals scored in a debut season for Real Madrid with his twin strikes against Barcelona which took his tally to 38 goals. This takes him clear of Chile's Ivan Zamorano's record of 37 scored in the 1992/93 season. In the match, fans were treated to a mouth watering first half where Mbappe scored back to back goals in the 5th and 14th minute, first from a penalty and then from open play after being set up by Vinicius Jr. Barcelona, however, struck back with four back to back strikes with Eric García, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha (2) finding the net in the 19th, 32nd, 34th and 45th minute as the teams went to half time. Kylian Mbappé has now scored more goals in 2024/25 than any other Real Madrid player has in their debut season with the club. Ivan Zamorano's record of 37 from 1992/93 has finally been broken. 🤯 — Squawka (@Squawka) May 11, 2025 Barcelona lead Madrid by four points and a victory would give it a comfortable cushion, but a Madrid win would throw open the title chase in the three remaining rounds. Barcelona is seeking a double after having beaten Madrid 3-2 in extra time in the Copa del Rey final two weeks ago. A Barcelona triumph would also complete a sweep of all four clasicos this season; it beat Madrid 5-2 in the Spanish Super Cup in January after winning 4-0 at Madrid in the league in October. Madrid, in contrast, is trying to salvage a disappointing season by successfully defending its La Liga title ahead of this summer's expanded Club World Cup. Madrid is without its entire first-choice backline of Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militão, Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy. Midfielder Eduardo Camavinga, who moonlights as a left back, is also out. All three prior clasicos have been high scoring — at least for Barcelona with 12 total goals to Madrid's four, so expect more goals against the depleted defenses at the Olympic Stadium. Led by Raphinha, Yamal and Lewandowski, Barcelona has a league-high 91 goals, compared to Madrid's 69. Both sides have conceded 33 goals this campaign. Lewandowski leads the league with 25 goals. Madrid's Kylian Mbappé is right behind with 24. But while Yamal and Raphinha are having breakout seasons, Vinícius and Rodrigo have been inconsistent.
