Where does Luka Modrić rank in greats of the game? 

he is rapid aswell which goes unnoticed

​@@adiliqbal9414 he's not rapid...he just so swift when he run

​@@boney__70no he is fast which seriously goes unnoticed like when he beat de bruyne in 1v1 and remember de bruyne is like 7 yrs younger than modric and he also beat messi in 1v1 in 2022

@@gopakumarpt9160 I've always appreciated the speed of Modric, people never notice this about him for some reason. Messi has great burst acceleration but sadly that 2013 injury robbed him of half his top end speed, Modric has slower explosive acceleration than Messi but he hits a nice pace that flies under a lot of peoples radars. People treat Modric like he is Busquets or something.

Zidane?

Top 3 yes out n out 1 hmm iniesta and xavi and Him are at the table

​@@mr__OK Zidane no2, even Zidane himself agrees on it

​@@mr__OK Zidane wasn't a cm he played on the left or 10

​@Saqib left midfield and left wing are 2 different things. Zidane was absolutely a Midfielder just ask Ancelotti

Did u ever watch zidane play?

Zidane come on

Zidane, Iniesta and Xavi edge it for me

Modrić is a different sort of player to Zidane I just think Modrić is the whole package and to be doing it for this long is something special

@@jamesmcmillan-oliver5400 his achieved more than all of them tho. More UCLs plus ballon d’or over Xavi n iniesta

tbh he wasnt. he was too 7 for sure but he was not the best player in the world or the best player at the world cup but that’s just my opinion

@@sblackofficial Almost Single handedly dragged Croatia to a final I watched every single 1 of their games with my own 2 eyes it's easy for players like Mbappe to use their pace against teams like Argentina who were shocking at WC18 when playing for a team like France... But it's harder to completely take charge of games and dominate them from the midfield against teams like Argentina or England when playing for a team like Croatia.. That's just my opinion tho I do not judge players by goals scored I judge them by the influence they had on the big games they played in. That's why players like Roy Keane enter the same conversations as Zidane, Ronaldo, Messi for me even while being less physically or technically gifted. When he played for a great team, he fit right in and became instrumental. When playing for a sub-par team, he excelled and over-achieved.

​@@samsativa245 not a single person in the world said or thought Modric was the best player in the world before that world cup run. Messi, Ronaldo, and even Salah were having better seasons than him. He won because of a 7 game stretch in a tournament he couldn't even win or put up a big fight in the finals in.

He and Zidane were the best playmaker for two decades.

If he was English... The story would have been Netflix level.

yes , he is best

Imagine if hes English

@@judekerr72 Suarez and falcao? Never knew they was central midfielders

Iniesta, Xavi, Zidane and Platini are all better

@@manwithnoname8229 now get out of here.

@@mrki6081 stan

​@@manwithnoname8229Platini and Zidane are out and out number 10's and Xavi and Iniesta did their best work as a duo in an all-time great Barca and Spanish national team.

@@surpriserakins9067 oh yeah and poor modric just had to slum it with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kroos, and benzema playing for little club Real Madrid.

Modric is no way near better than the likes of Riquelme, Zidane or Ronaldinho. He is playing in a weak era where technical quality has diminished from the sport which is clear to see.

Riquelme? Dude wtf Streets will never forget him but he is not even top 30 mids ever

Belize central america I'm from and i agree totally !!

@@gondazbandaz4540 Bro Riquelme??. And Dinho is a forward for most of his career,he played as CAM for another few. He's not CM.

@@gondazbandaz4540 Riquelme? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nope.

@@MaestroPlaymaker 🤡

​@@MaestroPlaymakeryes he is, 10 years playing beat football in the world, i dont wanna talk about induvidual, cause it will be nosense to debate, simply the best.

@@doktor7Z Got it, so he’s better than Zidane.

your friend is bonkers ☺️

@@Marco-fn6kgI mean, he’s a spurs fan. It’s a given

And he only got better and better at Real (after the 1st season there)

Iniesta is far better he won your nation a world cup Xavi too

@@foa0695 Oh please don't make us laugh, At the same age Iniesta was playing in the Korean league. Besides Iniesta had the fortune of playing in a far better national team side at the time, yet still Modric reached a WC final, and he's won a Balon D Or, something Xavi or Iniesta hasn't. Never mind the fact that Iniestas teammates in both Barca and the national team (Xavi, Busquets etc) where players he played together since the academy, they basically know each other on and off the pitch with their eyes closed.

@@outlawfly Iniesta had a MOTM performance in a world cup final euros final and UCL final. Modric played with Kovacic Perisic Rakitic Brozovic

@@foa0695 lol nope. iniesta and xavi were godlike in barca but they individually do not compare to modric. luka is simply better. exceptional in every position and much more versatile, almost a coachs dream.

longevity wise, Matthaus is the best

Peak ability is more important than longevity when ranking players imo

The best midfielder ever for me

Struggle teaches people how to fit in every system

iniesta best midfielder in the world from 2008-2016 [9 years] modric best from 2017-18 and from 2019-22 is kdb talking about longetivity? by your logic benzema>r9

What longevity? Iniesta played at the top level for more than 15 years, so has Modric.

zidane modric and iniesta

Matthäus is better than Gullit

My favourite is lampard but modric is unbelievable 👏

He’s more complete than Iniesta for sure

Change Modrić and Zidane and I agree. Even Zidane agreed Modrić is better then him .

Casemiro number 5 hahaha. Pirlo, Makelele, Busquets, Gerrard, Lampard, Seedorf, Kaka and more rank above him

Paul Scholes?

@@gvs4402 great player, not even close to Modrić greatness

Scholes over lampard or gerrard?

@the new throwaway lol without a shadow of a doubt. dominated in England for over a decade and was still wining league titles at 36... the man that xavi said is the best he's ever played against and that Zidane called his hardest opponent and couldn't get near. the one who la massia showed videos of to messi xavi inietsa etc the one who outperformed modric when he was in England. yep that guy is the only English man who can walk in the company of the top 5

leave english players outside goat discussion please, scholes was good but never considered best midfielder even in his time there was always 3-4 better players than him in position like zidane, nedved, kaka etc.

@StMaximus the fact u put kaka on the same position as Scholes shows your level of ignorance. Scholes was predominantly a deep laying playmaker not a cam. Scholes much more similar to a player like xavi or pirlo. u would never compare pirlo to kaka... it makes zero sense. 3-4 better than him? yet pep said he's the only player he would of taken into his peak barca team. xavi messi iniesta literally studied videos of him in la massia trying to emulate what he does. he literally won the 20 seasons prem award Zidane: "My toughest opponent? Scholes of Manchester. He is the complete midfielder. Scholes is undoubtedly the greatest midfielder of his generation.” amongst his peers he was considered the best of that era xavi, pep, Zidane, Ronaldinho and many more all said it. do a little research Scholes is the only 1 who be in that discussion.

No chance

​@@iniester6724 YES CHANCE 🇭🇷✌️

@@jukacyborg8339 not even better than kroos

Iniesta was world class from 2007-2016. 9 years. Modric from 2014-2023. 8 years. I have no idea how people have convinced themselves his longevity is so much better than iniesta’s.

And his longevity in corrie has to be applauded also

No
