Benteke's Complaint
Belgian footballer Christian Benteke has expressed his discontent with EA Sports FC 24 after fans noticed a mistake involving his character in the upcoming video game. The 32-year-old, who previously played for Premier League teams such as Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Crystal Palace before moving to DC United in the United States, believes he's "been done dirty" by the popular game developer.
The EA Sports FC 24 Game
EA Sports FC 24, also known as FIFA 24, is the latest installment in the popular video game series. Following a split between the game developer and the football governing body, the title no longer bears FIFA's branding. As a result, Benteke, who is currently performing well for Wayne Rooney's DC United, will be featured in the game.
The Height Blunder
Fans were quick to notice a significant mistake in the in-game footage of Benteke's character. In a scene where the Belgian footballer converses with Toronto forward Lorenzo Insigne, it appears that there is virtually no height difference between the two players. Despite Benteke's towering 6ft 3in frame and Insigne's modest 5ft 4in stature, their characters appear to be the same height.
Benteke's Reaction
Benteke responded to the blunder with humor, stating that he's "been done dirty" by EA Sports FC 24. However, the footballer didn't let the mistake slide and quickly took matters into his own hands. He posted a modified image on social media, in which he elongated his character's height to the point where he disappears from the screen, effectively rectifying the situation.
Fans Find It Hilarious
The image posted by Benteke garnered hilarious reactions from fans. Some remarked that he looked angry, while others speculated that the game developers may have intentionally made Insigne appear taller. One fan even demanded respect for Benteke's character. Another fan jokingly suggested that Insigne may have been standing on a box during the scene.
