What is the reason for this decline? Ronaldo, 36 years old, has slowed down by two points but is still at 87. His physical attribute has decreased slightly to 75 from FIFA 21’s 77.
Ronaldo is still the best Premier League player in FIFA 22, sharing the title with Kevin De Bruyne, Manchester City’s midfielder — and one of the most prominent players in the game.
FIFA 22 rating of Lionel Messi is 93, which makes him the most valuable player in the game. His FIFA 22 rating is 93, which is unchanged from FIFA 21.
Since FIFA 09, the new Paris Saint-Germain signing has had FIFA ratings of 90-plus. He was also given a FIFA 94 in FIFA 12. Since then, he has not fallen below 93 in any of his 10 titles.
It is interesting to note that Messi’s shooting, passing and physical attributes have remained the same from FIFA 21. However, his defense attribute has decreased from 38 to 34 in FIFA 22,
Messi’s FIFA 22 overall rating is two points higher than Ronaldo’s (91). But here’s how the attributes compare:Rating Cristiano Ronaldo Lionel Messi Overall 91 93 Pace 87 85 Shooting 93 92 Passing 82 91 Dribbling 88 95 Defense 34 34 Physical 75 65
The table shows that Messi is considered to be better than Ronaldo in many areas. His passing and dribbling skills are better than Ronaldo’s. Messi’s passing rating is 91 to Ronaldo’s 82, which is indicative of the Argentina international’s greater assists contributions. His dribbling score is 95 to Ronaldo’s 88.

Messi is slightly ahead of Ronaldo in terms of pace, shooting, and physical attributes. But only slightly. Ronaldo’s shooting ability is rated 93, one more than Messi’s 92 and his pace is 87. This is just two points less than his Argentine counterpart.
Ronaldo is far better than Messi in the area of physical attributes with a rating 75, which is 10 higher than the PSG star.
The two stars remain among the top three FIFA 22 players, with Robert Lewandowski, a Bayern Munich forward, being the only one between them. Technically Ronaldo is the joint-third highest FIFA 22 player, sharing the space with four others.
