How to Complete the Gabriel Batistuta FUT Birthday Icon SBC in FC 26
By Alfie Carrington••2 min read
The FUT Birthday celebration in FC 26 has reached a new peak with the release of the Gabriel Batistuta FUT Birthday Icon SBC. Known to the world as "Batigol," this legendary Argentine striker has been granted a massive 92-rated item that transforms him into one of the most lethal attackers in Ultimate Team. This special version celebrates his legacy with incredible stat boosts and the elusive 5-star skill move and 5-star weak foot combination.
The Legacy of Batigol: From Florence to Rome
Gabriel Batistuta remains one of the most feared strikers in football history. During his tenure at Fiorentina, he became a symbol of loyalty and power, scoring 151 Serie A goals for the club—a feat that led fans to erect a bronze statue in his honor. He later moved to Roma, where his 20-goal contribution in the 2000-01 season finally secured the elusive Scudetto. For Argentina, he was the all-time leading scorer with 56 goals until Lionel Messi surpassed him, and he remains the only player to score hat-tricks in two different World Cups (1994 and 1998).
