Let's take a closer look...
Henry stunned by Salah's dribbling rating
Thierry Henry was shocked to see Mohamed Salah's dribbling attributes in EA FC 24 and believes the Egyptian should've been rated higher by EA Sports.
Salah is ranked 13th with an overall rating of 89 in the game, just one less than his FIFA 23 rating.
The Liverpool star's EA FC 24 rating meant sees some key attributes of his being downgraded, such as shooting (87) and dribbling (88), with the latter in particular surprising Thierry Henry.
"I like people that go to the goal. I like players that dribble and pass someone, which is in the title, you're dribbling someone, right?
"A lot of people do a lot of stuff that I call nonsense. Are you going to the goal or not? And Mo Salah, when he takes the ball, he goes!" says an adamant Henry, who went on to heap praise on Belgian legend Eden Hazard for his silky skills during his time in the English Premier League.
"I can always remember one guy that I used to love watching in the Premier League is Eden Hazard. That's what I call dribbling. You go to goal.
"He didn't showboat, he was going to goal. Eden, you could kick him, you could do whatever, he used to spin on people and go to goal.
"That's for me what a dribbler is. I think that's a bit low for Mo Salah, but primetime, I would've been there too," he added confidently.
