The next version of EA Sports’ Fifa video game will feature the official Champions League tournament mode for the first time.
Fifa 19 will see the full European Cup tournament appear as a playable mode for the first time, complete with the competition’s famous anthem and big-eared trophy.
The competition’s appearance in future Fifa games had been rumoured earlier this year after it was confirmed the tournament’s official partnership with rival football game series Pro Evolution Soccer had come to an end.
The first trailer for the new game showed cover star Cristiano Ronaldo as well as Paris Saint Germain striker Neymar in action.
Unsurprisingly, fans of the series were very excited about the new addition.
Me: probably won’t bother buying the new Fifa this year

Most noticeable thing about FIFA is that they’re making the absolute MOST of that Champions League license. Expect to hear that music in every FIFA 19 video ever from now to eternity.
