Lionel Messi is being offered as a pre-order bonus for FIFA Street, EA Sports has announced. Not the real footballer, obviously, but some Messi-flavoured content.

If you pre-order the game before it comes out in March next year, you will receive exclusive access to the Adidas All-Star team, consisting of Messi and what EA are calling twelve "of the greatest footballers in the world". Which means I'm probably going to be in there. For reals.

As well as all this, the pre-order bonus also comes with a new venue in Barcelona, inspired by Plaça de Catalunya. Apparently, Messi helped design it. FIFA Street is Messi's first proper outing for EA, who nabbed the superstar from Pro-Evo earlier this year. Expect to see a lot more of him soon.
