There’s a certain joy to pulling off the perfect play in FIFA – whether it’s an astonishing skill move, a brilliant goal, or even a top-drawer save.

Of course, it’s fun to do any of this with slightly lesser-known players, but the real thrill is taking the best players in the game and pulling off the same outrageous skill they show in the real world.

So it’s no surprise that the best plays on FIFA since the turn of the century feature people like Ronaldinho, Zinedine Zidane, Wayne Rooney, and of course, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Long-distance goals, brilliant dribbles to set up a finish, slick passing moves, and even stunning saves – all make it to the game’s honour roll.
