Ronaldo Nazario vs Zlatan Ibrahimovic: An overall comparison in EA FC 26

Ronaldo Nazario has won the FIFA Best Men's Player award three times, as well as two Ballon d'Ors. He has also won the World Cup twice and bagged multiple individual awards, as well as domestic league victories and cups throughout his career.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, on the other hand, has managed to win the Footballer of the Year award 15 times for different clubs (AC Milan, PSG, Inter Milan, Barcelona, and more) throughout his career. He won the Puskas award for his famous back volley from outside the box against England in 2013, and has earned several domestic league and cup trophies for different clubs. He even helped AC Milan win the Serie A at 40+ years of age, during his final season playing football.

Both Ronaldo Nazario and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have 92 Overall ratings in EA FC 26, which makes it difficult to pick the better Icon striker between them.

Check out the comparison of their key stats below:

Comparison	Ronaldo Nazario	Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Overall	92	92
Pace	92	86
Shooting	92	94
Dribbling	92	92
Physicality	72	90

According to their Overall ratings, both players seem to be on par. While Ronaldo Nazario is better than Ibrahimovic in Pace (Ronaldo: 92, Ibrahimovic: 86), the latter's Shooting stat of 94 beats the former's 92 rating.

Both players have an amazing Dribbling rating of 92, meaning they excel at holding the ball in the opponents' box and remain a strong goal-scoring threat while they are at it.

However, in Physicality, Zlatan (90) is far better than Ronaldo (72). So, if you are playing against an opponent with strong defenders and might need to win a lot of ground and aerial duels, it's probably better to opt for Zlatan Ibrahimovic instead of Ronaldo Nazario.

On the other hand, if you are someone who relies on counterattacks and is confident that you can constantly drop the ball behind the opponent's backline, Ronaldo Nazario would be the way to go, thanks to his higher Pace rating.
