Player Review
93 - Rare
I would first like to apologize for this is going to be my first ever review on FUTbin and my English. This card is fantastic and I have nothing but great things to say about Mr. Lionel Messi. After playing the game since launch this year I've been saving up to try this card alongside him Aouar, Guendouzi, and Clauss. He's outstanding when he's on the ball, he's omniscient when he's off the ball. I was fearful at first of his work rates being Med/Low (similarly to Mahrez) that I was not going to be able to utilize him much. I found that it works for him because of his stamina being lowered, and he plays exactly how he is in real life. This young man simply loves to play football. He just simply plays with all his passion and it shows in game. I have tried players such as Di Natale, Ronaldo, Rashford, Mbappe, and Neymar just to name a few, and although the most similar player I can relate Messi to is Neymar, but there's just something exceptional about Messi. Perhaps this year the game has loaded LW's and not enough RW ? Or perhaps that his presence in the game makes my opponent shiver. Physicality is a little underwhelming however his aggression should be 90+. I think with his reaction being so high it allows him to be really sticky. He's a must try, be patient, and not to abuse him for his speed. He's the definition of CLASS and a modern ICON.
