By Alfie Carrington••2 min read
The latest Squad Building Challenges (SBC) has arrived in FC 26, and it is a nostalgic trip down memory lane for Liverpool fans. The new Georginio Wijnaldum Moments SBC commemorates one of the most legendary nights in Champions League history. This card celebrates the Dutchman's incredible impact during the 2019 semi-final second leg, where he helped overturn a massive deficit against Barcelona.
The Miracle of Anfield: Wijnaldum's Night of Glory
On May 7, 2019, Liverpool faced a nearly impossible task, trailing 3-0 against Lionel Messi's Barcelona after the first leg. Entering as a half-time substitute for the injured Andrew Robertson, Georginio Wijnaldum transformed the game. Within just 11 minutes of being on the pitch, he scored a quickfire brace (54' and 56') to level the aggregate score. His first was a powerful low strike, followed immediately by a soaring header that sent Anfield into a frenzy. This performance paved the way for Divock Origi's winner and eventually led to Liverpool lifting the trophy in Madrid.
