Paris Saint-Germain v Manchester United - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg

#2 – Marco Verratti

Italy Training Session & Press Conference

What Marco Verratti does on the pitch, not many around the world can replicate it. The Italian is so good on the ball that he can dominate the flow of the game without breaking a sweat.

This season, he has been a vital cog in PSG's system but somehow, he never seems to be in the limelight. The midfielder can walk into any club's starting XI in the world but he has settled in at PSG and doesn't seem to be interested in leaving.

Much like the fans who only talk about Mbappe, Neymar and Cavani running the show for PSG, EA Sports have also not paid heed to Verratti's contributions. Rated at 86, he should have been given an upgrade but somehow, was ignored completely. He does have 3 special cards rated at 87, and that ideally should have been made his base card.
