Children spend over 600 euros of parents money in attempt to pack Messi in FIFA 19

Four children have spent over 600 euros using their parent's credit card on the video game FIFA 19.

The FIFA franchise offers players the chance to pay micro-transactions to buy packs in the game, which has previously been likened to gambling.

These packs give you the chance to get players like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and other big names from the world of football, but the chance of getting the best players is extremely unlikely.

"You pay 40 pounds for the game, which is a lot of money in itself, but then the only way to get a great team is essentially by gambling," father Thomas Carter from Hampshire in the UK told the BBC.

"[The children] spent 550 pounds and they still never got their favourite player, Lionel Messi."
