What a rapid rise it has been for Marco Asensio! The Real Madrid and Spain youngster has been making all the right noises ever since he broke into the scene at Real Madrid last season, even serving a threat to Gareth Bale and his place in the team.
As expected, EA Sports FIFA upgraded his card from 81 in FIFA 17 to 84 in FIFA 18, thereby making him one of the top 100 players in FIFA 18. Asensio's overall card is pretty sick, with an 84 overall rating, 78 for pace, 83 for dribbling, 79 for shooting, and 83 for passing. Pretty impressive for someone who is only 21, isn't it?
However, fans of the Real Madrid player quickly jumped on EA Sports' back voicing their grievances over Asensio's FIFA 18 card. It appears that simply making it into the top 100 isn't enough for a Real Madrid player; he needs to be the best and EA Sports FIFA should rate him higher.
That's what transpired on Twitter as instead of celebrating Asensio's maiden top 100 appearance, his and Real Madrid's fans were all over EA Sports FIFA. Here are the best reactions:
It seems like opinions are divided on this one, but Asensio's rise has been nothing short of phenomenal and EA Sports FIFA has done well to appreciate it, despite a few more backlashes.
