EA Sports FC 24 is also the first in which Messi and Ronaldo will be featuring in non-European teams. However, this title is turning out to be a sad one for Ronaldo fans. While the player is available in the game, his ratings are very low. These low ratings dropped the mouth of soccer icon Thierry Henry too.

Thierry Henry shows surprise over Ronaldo’s stats in FC 24

In a viral YouTube video, former Barcelona player Thierry Henry participated in guessing players from their FC 24 stat cards. When Ronaldo’s stats card came in front of Henry, he was not able to identify the player at all. Even without the hint, he could not guess the Portuguese player.

When he gave up on figuring out the player, it was revealed these stats belonged to Cristiano Ronaldo in FC 24. “No, that’s not him!” Henry exclaimed. He still could not believe these low stats belonged to Ronaldo, again exclaiming, “Wow, that’s bad!” But the reason for his surprise was a valid one, as Ronaldo has dropped to his all-time low stats in the franchise from EA Sports.

While Ronaldo is having a stellar season right now with his team Al Nassr, his in-game stats speak differently. Ronaldo has an 86 overall rating with low pace, passing, and physical abilities. Although Ronaldo came as a bit of a shock to Henry, he smoothly guessed the rest of the players present in the game.

First, he was asked to guess Messi which he easily guessed, saying, “Oh it’s Leo.” He also guessed Thibaut Courtois and Doku very easily. Furthermore, he did not have much trouble guessing all-rounder players Casemiro and Antoine Griezmann. Henry correctly guessed Gabriel Martinelli after a few moments too.

But apart from Ronaldo, Henry struggled a bit to guess Virgil van Dijk. However, he did manage to guess him correctly, going on to state the low ratings are “harsh for the big man.” However, the biggest shock to Henry still came from the Ronaldo card in FC 24.
