Valencia's beautiful Estadio Mestalla was a big miss for FIFA 18 last year. After being in 17, it was nonsensically taken out, and EA didn't even have the 'PES got there first' argument to fall back on; though PES 2018 did cite Valencia as an official partner, it didn't have the side's stadium.

Work that one out. The world of football licensing is a muddle that only ends up biting the players buying EA or Konami's products.

Oh well, at least the Mestalla is back for FIFA 19. It's one of the best-loved La Liga grounds, so it's great to have it back again. Maybe now gamers can bring back the glory days of Héctor Cúper, Kily González, Gaizka Mendieta and the like.
