We're still in awe of Lionel Messi's heroics in the El Clasico from Sunday night.

Following his brilliant brace, including a last-gasp winner, Messi has received a very special FIFA 17 Ultimate Team card.

Barcelona toppled their old enemy by 3 goals to 2 following a thrilling El Clasico fixture which also saw Sergio Ramos get sent off for a rash tackle on the man himself.

Though the Argentine maestro dusted himself off before bagging a dramatic winner to secure all three points prompting wild scenes, while bringing up his 500th (!!) Barcelona goal.

Incredible feat.

Not to mention his classic celebration. Messi took off his shirt and held it up against the Real Madrid faithfuls.

Needless to say, he became subject to several brilliant meme's.

And now, EA Sports have commemorated his brilliance by revealing their special hero card.

With 92 pace, 9-fucking-9 dribble, 95 shooting, 91 passing, 71 physical and a 35 defence, those stats culminate in a 96 rating. This is an unreal card.

Feast your eyes on his Messi's ridiculous card.

WOW!

As well as Messi, Christian Benteke who haunted his former side Liverpool by netting twice, and Juventus' Leonardo Bonucci who bagged an unbelievable solo goal were also rewarded for their performances over the weekend.
