AC Milan Striker Olivier Giroud In Disbelief At Pace Stat On FIFA 22 Card, Says It's "Not Possible"

Serie A side AC Milan have filmed several first-team players reacting to their latest FIFA Ultimate Team ratings and well, experienced forward Olivier Giroud was far from impressed with his overall speed on the game.

Ahead of the upcoming release on September 26, EA Sports have released a batch of FIFA 22 ratings, including those of England players Declan Rice and Jack Grealish, who responded to their new cards in a hilarious video on the national team's YouTube channel.

Numerous players have already complained about their new card, including Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger, who called out EA for his low pace rating in FIFA 22.

Rudiger's former Chelsea teammate Giroud has also raised an eyebrow about his overall speed on the new game.

In fact, he joked that his three-year-old son has more than 39 pace - a stat EA Sports thought would accurately represent his real-life ability.

I'm sure the 34-year-old would readily admit that he isn't the quickest player on the block but even he was surprised by the outcome. You can see the clip from AC Milan's YouTube channel below.

EA Sports have certainly got people talking with some of these ratings. For many, Mason Greenwood's player rating of 78 left plenty of Manchester United fans in a state of shock, with some even branding it a 'crime' against football. Thoughts?

Do you think Olivier Giroud should have a higher pace rating? Is 39 too low or have EA nailed it on this occasion?

Let us know in the comments below.
