Lionel Messi is widely regarded as one of the finest players of our generation, if not all time. He's a big name in football, known for his crazy dribbling, accurate finishing, and winning mindset. He's no different in FIFA. He possesses the highest rated gold card on FIFA, at 93, with the numbers to back it up. He's a real threat from anywhere on the pitch, able to beat any defender one-on-one. His intelligence in the box is second to none, and he'll find the back of the net every time he gets a chance. Messi was born on July 17th, 1987 in Rosario, Argentina. He made his professional debut at the age of 18, for local club Boca Juniors. The following year, he moved to Europe, joining Spanish club Barcelona. There he became one of the most sought-after players in world football, helping the club win four consecutive La Liga titles before moving to Argentina in 2013 where he played for new club Lionel Messi Foundation until 2016 when he returned to Barcelona. Even though he's now 30 years old, he continues to be one of the best players in the world. With such a successful career behind him, it's no surprise that FIFA has named him the best player in the series so far. He's only been featured in the game once before, but since then he's become one of the most important players in the franchise.
