Ronaldo in FIFA 17

For almost six years, Messi ruled the FIFA rating roost, ahead of Ronaldo and the very best in the world. While any other player would have thrown in the towel, Cristiano persevered and came back stronger every season and that determination earned him his spot back on top of the rating pile in FIFA 17.

Following a series of impressive numbers, Messi's ratings took a hit after Barcelona's average season and Real Madrid's coming out party. Ronaldo once again led the way in FIFA and managed a 94 rating with Messi one behind on 93. Redemption for the player who has earned the right to be called one of the greatest in world football.

What does FIFA 18 have in store for these two stalwarts of the beautiful game?
