When it comes to the world of football, two names instantly ignite passionate debates among fans: Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. These two superstars have been at the forefront of discussions about the greatest player of all time. But how do they stack up against each other in the virtual realm of EA Sports FC 24?

One of the most crucial aspects of comparing players in a video game is their ratings. In EA Sports FC 24, both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have experienced downgrades in their ratings compared to the previous edition. Messi now holds a 90 overall rating, dropping just one point from FIFA 23. Despite this slight decrease, Messi still excels in key areas such as dribbling and passing. However, due to his move to the MLS and playing alongside relatively weaker teammates, linking him in Ultimate Team can pose a challenge.

On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo has faced a more significant drop, going from a 90 to an 86 overall rating. This downgrade primarily affects his pace and dribbling. Currently playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo's lower-profile move seems to have influenced his rating in the game.

Let's take a closer look at their individual stats in EA Sports FC 24:
