Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are two names that have dominated the world of soccer! They’ve been at the top for more than a decade. These soccer legends have captivated ardent fans with their rivalry. But as of today, multiple instances have seen them lose their place at the top. Subsequently, both icons of the beautiful game have been overpowered by Alisha Lehmann aka ‘the world’s sexiest soccer player’.

Just days ago, the veteran duo’s 16-year-old dominance came to an end. Now, their rankings in an elite list have been overshadowed by the beauty of a female soccer star.

Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are not the most popular anymore!

FIFA, courtesy of EA Sports, is among the most-played video games around the globe. The renowned game allows users to simulate their favorite teams, build a dream team, and sign their beloved stars. Additionally, be it male or female players, it consists of all the A-Z names that play around the world.

Notably, an interesting analysis was released by a FUT page on the social media platform, X. If we sort the full list of players according to their popularity, Alisha Lehmann tops the list. Below her are Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, followed by Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe. Indeed, it is quite an eyebrow-raising observation.

In fact, she doesn’t even have a higher rating than either of the players below her. Her rating as a player rounds off at 81. Nevertheless, despite ruling soccer for over a decade, Ronaldo’s and Messi’s name has been shadowed by Swiss beauty Lehmann. Possibly, the actual reason for the Aston Villa forward’s popularity on FIFA is leaning towards her attractiveness first. This isn’t the first time she has surpassed such big athletes. Earlier, she leapfrogged tennis legend Rodger Federer. Meanwhile, Messi and Ronaldo recently saw their 16-year reign come to an end.

After a 30-year partnership, FIFA concluded its collaboration with EA. Now, EA will independently release the game under a new name, “EA FC.” Kylian Mbappe has emerged as the face of the new version of the game, gracing the cover for two consecutive seasons. In the latest edition, four individuals have achieved the highest ratings. Mbappe has secured one of the top ratings in EA FC, boasting a score of 91.

Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne, and Alexia Putellas share the same rating as Mbappe. Ronaldo and Messi have traditionally held the top positions in the game’s ratings, maintaining this status for 16 years. However, Messi has lost his top ranking, while CR7 doesn’t even make it into the top 24. Messi is rated 90 in EA FC 24, whereas Ronaldo is rated 86. That’s a massive drop!
