Thierry Henry is shocked by Cristiano Ronaldo’s EA Sports FC 24 rating, which has been downgraded to 86 from his rating of 90 last year.

Ronaldo, 38, has appeared on the cover of EA’s popular video game on multiple occasions, but his move to Saudi Arabia has seen him drop to his lowest rating since FIFA 07.

The Portugal international has scored 24 goals and provided eight assists in 28 appearances for Al-Nassr, however his impressive scoring tally in the Saudi Pro League was not enough to impress EA.

Henry was shown Ronaldo’s individual ratings for pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending and physical without seeing his face or name and was tasked with guessing the player during an interview with BR Football.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona star was unable to guess correctly and when it was revealed that Ronaldo was the player in question, he responded: “No, that’s not him. Wow. That’s bad.”

Ronaldo’s 86 rating is his lowest since 2007 and he is not the highest-rated Saudi Pro League player either, with that title going to his former Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema. The Frenchman is rated 90 on EA FC 24.

Who is the highest-rated player on EA FC 24?

Kylian Mbappe, Alexia Putellas, Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne are the four players with the highest rating on EA FC 24. They are rated 91 in the game.

Aitana Bonmati has been handed a 90 rated card by EA Sports, meaning she is the joint-fifth highest rated player in this year’s game, along with seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Lionel Messi, Sam Kerr, Karim Benzema, Thibaut Courtois, Harry Kane, Caroline Graham Hansen, and Robert Lewandowski.

Mohamed Salah, Kadidiatou Diani, Mapi Leon, Ruben Dias, Vinicius Junior, Rodri, Neymar, Alex Morgan, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Virgil van Dijk, Alisson and Ada Hegerberg are all rated 89 on EA FC 24.
