Maybe go ahead and give Ricardo Quaresma the highest shot power rating on Fifa 17.
The Besiktas winger proved that he'd certainly take some beating in those stakes as he literally knocked an opponent out on Tuesday night such was the ferocity of his shot. As the ball bounced in front of him from a switch of play, Quaresma swung as hard as he could in an attempt to get his side back into the Champions League tie with Benfica. Trailing 1-0, Quaresma's frustration was clear in the strike as he gave it an almighty wallop. And Benfica defender Alex Grimaldo felt every bit of his opponent's anger when the shot struck him directly in the face and knocked him out cold. Thankfully the left back came to shortly thereafter but it was a worrying sight to see him lying limp on the turf. Defenders be warned, you don't want to put your face between Quaresma and goal.
