The final piece of action EA chose to end the trailer with is of Lionel Messi; the franchises cover-star and the man they have rated as being the worlds greatest player for every FIFA game in recent memory. The Barcelona star is shown effortlessly controlling an aerial pass from a teammate before letting fly with his preferred left boot. The stunning shot soars into the top-left corner and leaves Atlético Madrids Thibaut Courtois powerless to stop its flight. The incredible nature of the strike combined with its placement as the last significant piece of action show in the trailer suggests that Lionel Messi is still likely to be considered the best in the world by EA, despite a tepid season by the Argentines standards. Many had believed that Cristiano Ronaldo impressive season at Real Madrid marked by his win of the highly coveted Ballon d'Or might have been enough for the athletic Portuguese player to be rated as highly or even higher than Messi on FIFA 15. However, the fact that Ronaldo is completely absent from the trailer suggests that his virtual counterpart will once again be looking up to the little Argentine.
