I don't think Modric is given the praise he deserves in the football world. This is midfield play at it's best and to see that he is almost 37 is just mind blowing
@@RaulEdu33 Ronaldo would never be in that messicr7 discussion if he had not Luka in his team. Luka and Leo on their positions are most gifted and most complete players of generation maybe ever.
Epic compilation. Modric is such a badass wizard and defintion of a progressive player. Always technically and mentally a step ahead of the opposition. And very eager to attack players with nutmegs and supreme body feints
Have been watching him since his days at Tottenham. He is truly still one the greats to this day. He may not get the praise or accolades of some other players, but his contribution to the sport is at the highest level. Truly a living legend.....
2:32 This is my favourite move I saw him do. Never seen two players press someones back at one moment and next milisecond being 5 meters away completely bamboozled.
Wow 🤩 wow 🤩 wow 🤩 this guy is just so magical 🧙♂️ amazing 🤩 & special, whatever he’s doing in the game is so so difficult yet he makes it look so simple…. It’s one of the most difficult art in football to be nutmegging, controlling & bossing the midfield of Real Madrid for almost a decade… wow so so consistent… he’s the greatest midfielder ever….
Title sounds like an overstatement but it's true. Liverpool conceded in that final because Modric pulled out Andy Robertson who tried to press him, it ended up with Vini Jr taping in for a goal.
This video reveals ,how different Modrić is from the other midfielders he is compared to. I would rather have Modric than Xavi, Pirlo and Inesta together. He's so good it's a miracle. When he walks off the football field, everyone will understand immediately. First of all, the national team of Croatia and Real Madrid.
Undoubtedly top 3 midfielder of all time.. I have watched him since end of his tottenham days until today.. he is just on another level , makes it look so effortless
When they signed Benzema Kaka and CR7, as a Barca fans, I wasn't worried at all. But then years later they signed this guy, i was anxious the domination of Barca will be taken over, and this guy really did it.
@@mig497 the only thing that made Messi won the Ballon D'or until 7 times is Messi had done what Modric did, while at the same time he scored many goals too. Modric just can't score often. Tbh at least 2 Ballon D'ors Messi received should have been given to another player.
@@gloomyfolks Nah i just dont agree on that with you, forwards score goals while midfielders need to do defending as well, that is the difference but they both are extra important and special... Would like to see people recognizing football as a team sport more often and give credit to other positions other than forwards... if team is very good and make a lot of quality changes its very easy to be attacker... but here im saying messi was somehow special at creating himself a chance to score
An Ode to Joy: football symphony No. 10 by Luka Modrić. This is Modrić's magnum opus. I am so delighted to see him play so majestically. Is Modrić a mortal or a God ? No doubt, he is a planetary phenomenon. Therefore, bow before the King!
@@abbasmustapha727 wtf…. U have no shame? Mentioning bernardo & verrati in the same sentence as modric😭💀 r u a child? did u start watching football yesterday?
@@abbasmustapha727 Veratti? The same guy who folded numerous times under pressure in the UCL? And Bernado Silva is a specialist in pressing, for he has legs, not against pressure. Not to mention he plays shit in Portugal when he doesn't have a star-studded midfield around him.
@@nazgulzg that's the thing, Modrić is a generational player you can not just "replace" him because there won't be another player like him at least the next 10-20 years probably
One can also make a long video about " The stupid mistake of NOT pressing Luka Modric". If you give him time to read the field it will be just too easy for him.
Legend who could only outpace G.O.A.Ts in BallonDo'r in their prime you are always #1 Luchita, living legend, im so sad that time is moving forward and feels so bad that nobody knows how long its promised to enjoy from your magic Luka thank you, long live LegenD
While Modric was still at Tottenham, it wasn't far fetched when he was described as the world's best central midfielder surpassed by only Xavi of Barcelona....A true Football Magician...⚽👍
So many people think that Messi was good at Barca because Xavi and Iniesta. Nobody talk about how good real Madrid Midfield back then. Modric, Ozil, Kroos, Di Maria and Xabi Alonso was the assists machine for Ronaldo. Remember in last 14 years only Modric in 2018 win ballon D'or besides Messi and Ronaldo. Even this year, Benzema is the main candidate to win it, and he is Madrid player. When Ozil left Madrid for Arsenal, he became top assister in premier league. Ronaldo had every best passer in his team back then. Ozil, Modric and Kroos is so good for dominate Midfield and find gape for killer through pass, Xabi Alonso is the best long passer and di Maria is one of the best for crossing
@@tzevaot_ and Ronaldo fans always said that so many Messi goals came from Dani Alves assists, and they forget how many Ronaldo goals came from Marcello assists
1) Ronaldo had best passers? So u want to make it some ronaldo goals only cause of midfield thing? More than passing ,you could say it was best balanced team . If we are just gonna talk about passing then lemme remind you ronaldo literally made record with Juventus which relies on defense more than midfield, With a team like Manchester United he was 2nd top scorer .
@@GigaNiga7 that is my reaction to Ronaldo fans who claim that Messi great at Barca because Xavi and Iniesta. So if you want to critisize me, you have to critisize all Ronaldo's fan first.
Ozil was a subtitute in Champion final 2014, Modric was playing along Khedira and Xavi in the middle. Casemiro and Kroos came later. So, Modric was only player that won 5 UCL in Real Madrid along Marcelo, Benzema and Carvajal. He is a key midfielder
I have watched every game that Luka played from when he played in Croatia… he rarely had a bad game but NEVER 2 in a row…. Always beating himself if he played bad and next game you could see he wanted to prove to himself that it was just a bad day. He got hate only because ballon d or win but it seems that people forgotten about that by now and just enjoy his game like the old times. I really thought he was done after the Wc but now I’m enjoying his games more then ever. 💪🏻👏🏻
I never comment on anything - just this once. I will have to make both myself and you sad: Luka will not last much longer, and when he retires, we and our children will be deprived because we will not have the opportunity to watch such a maestro for a decade or two! There are quite a few and there will be great players, but it will be a long time until someone who is not a striker wins the Ballon d'Or.
@@danijelhrup9715 pretty easy but Ofc u will just rubbish is. Iniesta is the best midfielder of all time and has done stuff that simply no other mid can do IMO
Best midfielder ever. No contest... With him Real Madrid won 26 different titles, and Croatia's national team won 2nd place in the 2018 WC, 3rd place in 2022 WC, and the 2nd in the last Nations league cup. Modric's contributions are mind blowing. The only way to get him off the ball is buy committing a foul.
The thing about luka and many players like him is they know where the defender is going to reach for and they know the empty space or for luka he creates it somehow
kroos gone would make madrid suffer more, since none of the young midfielder can set the tempo right, was expecting camavinga to do that but he's still developing
the difference between madrid and many other teams is madrid say we are real madrid while barcelona for example say we have iniesta or we have this or that player real plays like an entity while others depend on their players
Iniesta and Xavi are limited to their skill and they’re excellent at it but when you think of a midfielder you want someone who will work their butt overt game, attack and defend. That’s Modric
As a real madrid fan i obviously know how amazing modric is and he definitely deserves more than one ballondor, he filled a vital position for real madrid after guti but the true reason why Barcelona dominated the field and become number one feared club wasn't messi or inesta but xavi and the ballondor is an absolute joke, they only count goals
