Once the best player in the world for many years – and arguably the greatest player of all time (versus Team Messi) – Cristiano Ronaldo’s twilight years have left a slight stain on his legacy.
A second failure at Manchester United has now seen CR7 the flagship face of Al Nasr and the Saudi Pro League. Although it has helped sculpt this rich region by attracting more players, the quality is not up to par.
Now, EA has this watch. Ronaldo’s ranking has left other football legends stunned, with Thierry Henry stunned by how ‘bad’ his card is, after the stats dropped for this year’s version of Ultimate Team.
Thierry Henry stunned at Cristiano Ronaldo’s lowest rating in 16 years at EA FC 24
For the first time since FIFA 07, an impressive 17 years ago, Ronaldo’s rating has dropped to 86. This concludes one hell of a chapter in his career and Ultimate Team era where his card value would often exceed a million coins at launch.
Instead, he is now in the market for 35,000 coins with only 77 speed. At the EA FC 24 reveal, icon Thierry Henry was seen in disbelief on the card, as he was shown the base stats of an unknown Saudi player.

“He is not that.” he said uncertainly.”This is bad“He added. It probably won’t be long before we start looking at Ronaldo as an icon card, as his career is coming to an end, which will mark the end of an era in football.
