Cristiano Ronaldo may have been pipped to the top player crown, but his team are the best team on the demo. They're among a few 5-star teams, but with 88 Attack, 86 Midfield and 82 Defence stats, they're the top of the pile, while Barcelona somehow rank at just 88 Attack, 84 Midfield, 82 Defence. Real Madrid have felt like the most powerful team on the game for several editions, and with upgrades aplenty, that won't end anytime soon. Star Man: Cristiano Ronaldo - He's a remarkable forward, and in some ways the most complete footballer in the world. He is pace and explosiveness, combined with power and size, added to a clinical finisher and immensely skilful player. At 93 Overall, he's close behind Messi, but his six key stats look comfortably better on the card. 90 Dribbling, 92 Pace, 93 Shooting, with 78 Physical compared to Messi's 62. They're both amazing players, but in the virtual world, Ronaldo might actually be more effective.
