As mentioned, "Going legendary" featured several time-limited items from the Messi Football Icon series, which are still freely available as time-limited rewards with an exchange of exploration points.

Players will have to spend UC to upgrade them to permanent collections. However, the Messi Football Icon Set is visible on the interface of the "Going legendary" event.
