Sportskeeda’s Take
We didn’t expect any major changes in the La Liga. While EA could have handed Lionel Messi an upgrade, given his current form, it is understandable why they didn’t do so. All the changes seem justified and fans can only get excited at the prospect of playing with the upgraded players.
