Modric is the most complete midfielder of all time, the only midfielder who's 10/10 in attack 10/10 in defense 10/10 in dictation of the game who has thrived in every single system in the world and has all the arguments to even be called the best ever. Modric is easily a top 3 midfielders of all time. He has everything.
i wonder how he does it, is it genetics or is he working his body in a way so he can play like 21 while being 37, like how lebron is spending 1 million for his body recovery he nearly 40 son and he’s playing amazing.
@@batman-qw1gf i heard it’s because of the longevity of playing at the top level. Players like Casillas, xavi, and Iniesta, Messi played at the “top level/top club” from a very young age so they are much more worn out. On the other hand other players worked their way to the top level so they aren’t as strained as other players and because of that they have better longevity. Like modric in this example
Modric story is the most inspiring out of any footballer he went from spending his childhood in a war torn country to playing at spurs and than getting his dream move to Real Madrid only to be voted flop of the year and after all of that he became a 5 time ucl winner, took his nation to their first ever wc final, and probably the biggest achievement of his career is winning a ballon d’or in the Messi/Ronaldo era.
Honestly, Victor Moses has a more inspirational story. His parents were killed in a religious clash when he was only 11. His relatives scrounged up the money to send him to London, and he was an orphan in London till he got a foster family and made it in the prem. Yes, modric has had more success in football, but Victor Moses has overcome one of the hardest things to go through and still lived his dream.
right is wath I love about him like that play against psg he took like 5 6 players messi neymar amongst them jajaja also kroos is looking lazy for me in madrid hope we sale him and get a younger player like the kid from dormund belligham
I used to tell my friends, like in 2015 - 16, showing Modric, that he plays every game in a way as if his family is held by throat and told to play as a do or die match.. he never craved for goals, awards or headlines all he is after is a great win.. I could see his passion for the sport in every game through out the year..
That's why he is unreal ♥ His pure love for football is hard to unsee. Never witnessed any player more passionate than him. All he cares about is just football. That's it.
Yes football players point is to play for the team and make sure the team wins the game, when that is most important thing and coach likes it, when flexing goals, but lose next game and then be knocked-out of Champions League is not so good thing. So rather create easy chance for easy goals, than be selfish, that I want to try from here and that causes us lose the game, when we could have gpt easy goal by passing the ball, so thats why coach hopes the players want to win the game, instead flex off what they can do with the ball.
The difference between Modric and Xavi, Iniesta is that both are great at dribbling and passing, but only Modric is an excellent box to box midfielder. He always comes back to defend for his team, and this is unrelated but even on fifa he had the Engine trait

Something people should understand is that Modric plays for the team. He never goes for a dribble or a pass that is not needed, he makes a choice of the best option to take and without any hesitation takes action. Look at his workrate and chances on the ball, he can well catch attention with that unbelievable ball retention and skills but he's all about results before gameplay.. Few may understand but he is unarguably the best midfielder alongside Zidane, different breeds within these two
I can see Modric as an all time great and all because I’ve watched him play. But what makes Zidane so special? You seem like a guy that can explain. Statistics can’t put his play into words at all (G/A), and when i hear he carried France I can’t see how. He made contributions in dying moments, yes. Great dribbles and getting past two players at once. All I can find about him are highlights of plays that result in average (but certainly creative!) passes which lead to no goal. Very creative, but with seemingly no product. As a CAM he barely defended too. His positioning is nowhere close to Modric’s level, who can defend immediately after a turnover and create a dangerous chance in two touches when passed to. Zidane just seems like he forces the ball forward by receiving passes with insane ball control and skills to beat his markers.
Modric is a central midfielder, he does everything a defender and an attacking midfielder does. On the defensive side of the game specifically none of the other players mentioned comes close.
Despite having every football skills to be considered as one of the greatest player Luka Modric’s work rate is unbelievable...even at 37 he gives it all on the pitch...
Crazy thing is Madrid still keep him even after 35yo. Never see Madrid willing to keep player over 35 even though the player is so good and still playing great. Look at Ramos, only get offered one year extension. So Ramos decided to go.
I wish more people could watch him live playing. only then do you see how much space he holds and how he controls the game.. I watched a few games when he was still playing in dinamo. he would simply control the whole field himself, a very intelligent player who plays with his brain..
Modric deserves his flowers. 💐If one loves the art of dribbling and passing, Modric is a good example of such skills. 🙇♂️No modern midfielders have won 5 champion league besides those in RM.
Even as a professional it was pretty hard foe him. Back in the 03/04 season he played on loan at Zrinjski Mostar in Bosnia and Hercegovina. Most people recognized his technical abilities, but Luka was always very slim and seemed fragile. That's why many thought he wouldn't withstand in a more professional league. Still he didn't listen to those people and he became one of the greatest footballers. I can really recommend reading his autobiography, truly an inspring story
@@RaymarFootball who play bosnian and croatian league....he play every in the world as best.very,very,hard league for young player.luka is going after bosnian league in totenham and he say that-play here is a joke after bosnian league
Zrinjski finished that season 9th i think in Bosnian league, and Modric, who was loaned player from Dinamo Zagreb, was given the award for the best player in Bosnian league that same season.
The fact that after winning the ballon do'r, career best World cup performance and multiple UCLs by 2018 he didn't think that was his peak and he could finally rest. Instead he kept pushing for more and won another UCL with elite performance proves his longevity!
@@chinmay.1627 Statpadding all those goals in the penalty box and getting humiliated in UCL by small teams and pulling Juventus, United to Europa is definitely a downfall. 😂
@@Krato65for almost 3 seasons the only goal scorer in UCL KO for Juventus was who!? It was Ronaldo! If your parents gave you two seconds of kindness you wouldn’t be full of this much hatred towards someone for absolutely no reason.
I remeber watching Totenhamm games 10 years ago with Modric in the midfield. He was amazing there. And now he is the number 10 of the greatest club in the world and won 5 UCL, Best World Cup player and 2018 Fifa best player. He is one of the best 10 football players for sure.
I think what really helped Modric was moving to the premier league at a young age. It gave him the physical attributes to go along his obvious technical brilliance. He then combined both to reign supreme in Spain even if the Madridsta didn’t appreciate him at first. The word legend is overused at times but there is no one in the universe that can dispute this man is a legend. We are lucky to have watched this man play the beautiful game!
If you call 23 young and already a Croatian International with a World cup and Euros under his belt, I'm 100 % sure he didn't learn his craft, nor physical strength in England... He spent a year in the Bosnian league, no referees to look after you there....
Epl fans at their best again saying crap everytime. This guy modric is lik Messi they don't learn anything from league or strength, they are naturally talented and born footballers. Rare gems
Luka is the best what he did in Brazil World Cup was amazing. Croatia was an underdog but with Luka in the midfield they were a very dangerous team. What he is still doing at Real Madrid is unbelievable he just gets better and better. Very well deserved Ballon d’Or .
The only player to win the Ballon D'or while Ronaldo and Messi are at their peak. Still going strong at age 36. One of the greatest midfielder we've ever seen. Real Madrid legend Luka Modric ladies and gentlemen.
Way more versatile than other 3 on my opinion. His work in defence is juust... Damn and his ability to read the game. It was a time when there is a game on tv and with a friend of mine, we are just enjoying to watch only him in this game. Its was like "hey man , lets try to watch Mordic, just Modric. He just doesn't make mistakes man, lets try that" and maaan... whole another perspective cuz when you watch a game some individual things you aint see them. Its so entertaining and we were amazed. Have You ever tried this. To watch just the player like you are a scout. If youre not try it
I doubt any other football player will mean as much as Modric does to me and majority of Croats. I was just a kid when he played for Dinamo. Watching his career grow to one of greatest was privilege. His work ethic and vision are beyond those of mere mortals. I might be bit biased, but I hope we can put all doubt aside after we win world cup.
This is so true. When he was at Spurs I kept thinking to myself "If this guy was at a bigger club, he would shock the world". He is class! Giving me Zizou vibes...
I believe Modric is advanced and more functional version of Andrea Pirlo,minus maybe freekicks,but Modric still didnt reach his prime,even at 37 i think the guy has at least 30good games left even below his standards lately,guy is just an art to watch,hatssoff😉
There is no other player who can copy the style of play that Modric has...He has unique skills for the football game in every single aspect...I mean just look at him,he is 37 years old and he is still playing at the top level of this game which is incredible!His vision for football is out of this world and the Ballon D'or that he won Is just an award for his career...He is definitely in the top 3 midfielders who played football of all times
There he is, 37yo with his 2nd WC medal,WC best player, Balon D'Or, 5UCL and no sign of slowing off. Kudos to Zidane Xavi Iniesta Pirlo... but Modric is GOAT
As madrid fan modric never come to close to Zidan legacy. Carrying team to world cup winner and Champions League and ballondor, his all time goat midlfilder like cryff mradadona zidane in x all-time team but modric is the great midfield of all time
you are certainly right but in my opinion zidane was just different breed ... his control on the field and football mind cant be justified by titles...he was the best that i ever watched
oh god how much energy this player has. He never stops moving and annoying opponents on the field. This player plows the field length and breadth without getting tired. He plays for the team with exceptional silence and dedication. His passing, his sprints and his dribbling are excellent, it is sad that he is not given enough appreciation in the media or even among Real Madrid fans. All love to Modric ❤❤❤❤
The most amazing part is Modric professional, humble and down to earth. He even worked hard to learn Spanish as soon as possible so he could communicate with the squad which mostly spoke Spanish along with staff and fans, whilst Bale barely tried to learn “buenos días”. In all his time at Madrid. Speaks volumes of the type of person Modric is, if you see him somewhere as a fan he’ll talk to you in spanish, Bale will pretend he doesn’t understand and find a way to just leave. I know because I’ve experienced both when they used to leave the Valdebebas training grounds and we used to ask for autographs.
@@PP-uk7of surreal bro. I honestly thought he’d ignore us. I’d understand, but he was surprisingly amicable and down to earth. I guess that’s why fans love him so much!
@@Chris.Morales aww that's so sweet! ❤ He is Exactly the way I thought of him. Down to earth and humble. He always said in interviews ,he feels the love of fans And signing autographs and taking pictures and all , is the least he can do to return their love. Thankyou so much for sharing 🙏😀
Agree with you 100% Modric is from another breed. He is not only very skillful with his feet, but also his vision of where his team mates are located. He is in my opinion, one of the best mid fielders of all time. Thanks for your video.
@@AJ-lh4fp Bro come on ,not a lot of midfielders have won 5 UCL,a ballon d'or, the best player of the world cup,and performing in the highest level at the age of 37(being a main player of the 2022 UCL winning team,at 37). He is In the top 5 mindfielders of all time
@@Deni-dd9yc UCLs are a team achievement and don’t prove much, his ballon d’or was undeserved, and him playing at this age is impressive but it’s not enough to make him top 5
One of the best Midfielder I've ever seen. Many best midfielders like, Zidane, Xavi, Pirlo and many more. But, all time my favourite players is Modric. 🙂
It's not just that he himself is such an incredible player, it's that he is inspiring others especially at real Madrid. Showing players like camavinga, tchouameni, ceballos, ... how to play for the badge at te front of the shirt, the passion, the energy, the quality, they will learn from him and become great midfielders themselves.
I will only stick to players I watched playing. Zidane, Pirlo, Modrić, Scholes, Xavi and Iniesta. It is really hard to put one above the others, but Modrić is the most complete midfielder of them all. He is equally good in both attack and defense with positioning and closing players down. In his early years in Real Madrid he was kinda underrated, but slowly progressed to world class status and GOAT candidate for midfield. A legend for sure.
Being a barca fan I have my utmost respect for modric especially during his performance during the world cup he carried the team to the final there is no one will be able to replace him and real Madrid will feel the impact once he retires I'm just more than happy to ever witness this legend his passes and playing would just leave your mouth opened like how did he do it at the end of the day everything has to come to an end and just said that in few years i won't see him play
@@2thouxan lol saved what are u talking about he was always the best player on the pitch did you watch football or what😂 Yea he missed the penatly in 116min but he scored in Penalty shootout so how rakitic safe his ass lol
Modric didn't start playing at world class lvl until his late 20s... Iniesta was class off the go and still played until his mid 30s. His age makes it look very misleading
This is exactly what I love most about him. Despite his fame, success & achievements he's remained so humble, down to earth & just so normal. No flashiness, no showing off, vanity or debauchery like some others. He doesn't even dress or live like a millionaire. Just a nice simple guy who happens to be a world class football player.
There are players who are good in football, there are players who are great in football and then there are those players in football who are born every few decades... and that's Luka Modrić.
Something people underrate is the fact that Modric is a legit two-way player. He defends, unlike Xavi and Iniesta who relied on team pressure to gain the ball back. Modric is able to manmark players and I think it’s a big reason why Real Madrid wins the UCL so much. They can defend with 11 players for 30-50’ without a problem. They know how to suffer and they’re humble enough to do so. Lord of big teams let their ego take over when the game becomes unbalanced and try to just play their game. That’s why barca keeps on blowing leads. Sometimes you have to adapt to the flow of the game
@@markelon8303 Modric isn't close to Xavi or Iniesta but he is definitely good enough to be considered one of the best midfielders of all time. They're ahead of him in terms of vision, skill dribbling passing, 1st touch etc. But modric has other qualities that they don't such as defending and strength. But Modric in his own right is an amazing midfielder, a specialist. He's like busquets, xavi and iniesta all in 1. Not better than them but more a jack of all trades whereas the former are specialists in particular skillsets.
I think it doesn't matter who's best or who won most prizes. We can all agree that all players talked about brought us many joy of watching the game. And to have such a great back story really makes you appreciate Luka as a person. Nice vid.
I will definitely put him in top three of all time. He is genius, not a lazy midfielder he fights for every ball. He can teach how to get the ball out of your zone with the other team is pressing. Watch the winning goal of the 2022 champions league. He is responsible of 50% of that goal. Getting rid of Robinson and that pass with his left foot to carvajal between Thiago and Fabiano. It is just wow
We need more videos like this. W video I think Modric is at top 5 as you said, he really is a different and superior in terms of longevity from all other midfielders.
I'd argue that he's the best Croatian player of all time and the best real Madrid midfielder of all time. if it wasn't for benzema unreal season, I'd probably argue that modric is in the run for a second ballon d'or because he also had an unreal season.
both are 1000% true. i cant think of a croatian better than Modric and he has done way more for madrid than zidane, and is a better player than pirri, amancio etc
@@AJ-lh4fp yes exactly. while I believe zidane is better player with huge impact on games that very few people in history had, his time in Madrid wasn't as successful and he wasn't as consistent. if this was a choice between 2 players, I'd pick zidane but since its about overall impact and consistency it's not even close. it's no coincidence that Madrid started dominating after he arrived and with a great partners in kroos and casiemro they formed probably the best midfield in history. very few can say they won 5 UCLs.
@@franklinclinton_1988FC ahh but modric is so underrated he took his country to wc final he won 5ucl with cr7 he deserves a lot of respect and he deserves the ballon d’or stop giving the credit to ur favorite all the time he clearly deserves it
@@franklinclinton_1988FC Just g+a matters? are you crazy? typically, a person that doesn't watch soccer and stays in TikTok watching stats/sofascore influencers LOL
I was wholeheartedly supporting Croatia at this year’s World Cup, just to see my man Modric holding that Cup, alas it was not to be, however I’m not mad, the team played consistently well and made it to the semi-finals and that in its own is an achievement so I’m happy for him
Lets make this clear, Xavi and Iniesta were great, but they were playing with Messi. Also if one didn't play (Xavi or Iniesta), the other wasnt that good. Modric carries any team he plays in.
To all the people saying he only started being a top midfielder when he got to Madrid that’s a lie he’s been a boss since being in the 2008 Euros ream of the tournament which was 14 years ago
Luka is undoubtedly one of the greatest midfielders ever. What the other GOAT midfielders have over him is that although he trumps them from 33+, they trump him from 18-26.
Luka Modric one of, if not footballs G.O.A.T MIDFIELDER in 10mins 40secs . Personally i'd place Zidane ahead of any midfielder any day but as you said MODRiC is built differently. I must add that your supporting points are all well rooted and undeniably spot on. True CRISTIANO should have won it ahead of him in 2018, still what a player. Without doubt the most complete midfielder to have played the game.
I think he’s my all time favorite Midfielder. France won WC 2018 but…. Croatia won the world. Luka did carry his team during that WC and he was an outstanding Captain.
Easily in the top 5 of all time. I put him at two, behind Zidane. Fantastic vision, grace and determination. Humble, tireless, and always putting the team first. Class act all around.
I wish more people could watch him live playing. only then do you see how much space he holds and how he controls the game.. I watched a few games when he was still playing in dinamo. he would simply control the whole field himself, a very intelligent player who plays with his brain..
I said it for years now as a Barca fan and Serbian, i said it cuz we are supposed to hate each other, but Luka is incredibly special, best midfielder of our generation, if not top 5, than certified top 10 mid ever
You're actually not complimenting him here, but it's understandable from a Serbian Barca fan. To say "if not top 5, then top 10" is disrespectful to Modric and doesnt do him justice.
Luka deserved it because of his season and that fact that he did it all. Ronaldo is fantastic but he could not drag Portugal to a 2nd place finish, and Luka most certainly did. You only need to watch how hopeless we are when he’s not playing to know the truth.
What makes Modric different from the others is that he comes from a small insignificant country like Croatia, if he was from spain, england etc he would have been the GOAT no doubt, but when you dont have the royal blood you have to be 5times better to be recognised as the best, like Đoković in Tennis and similar…. Sad but true
Luka grow up in my town Zadar, and is known he as kid was never been seen without ball wherever he went. He caused lots of problems breaking neighbors windows 😀
modric is build different. he used to work harder than everyone else. when other midfielder established themselves from a young age, modric keep training unnoticed.
I would have him in any dream team I put together. Amazing player with 2 world cup medals for Croatia (a much smaller footballing nation than France, Brazil or Spain), best player at a world cup, Balon D'Or and 5 UEFA Champion leagues. For me he may just be the best midfielder in history.
After modric won the ballon d or The next season people heavily criticized him just because of the continuous disappointing results of Real madrid Later he again proved himself why he is the best midfielder of this decade
The biggest robbery of all time would have been seeing Modric retire without a Ballon d'Or. Thankfully he won it. The most complete midfielder of all time. A wizard on the the ball and an engine off the ball. The day he retires will be a sad day for football, and not just Real Madrid.
the best assistant in the world and a midfielder, but definitely a goat as a controller and playmaker. since he plays for the first time non-football fans are interested in football and it's wonderful to watch football as a "scout"
I was privileged to see luka modric play at white hart lane. His most impressive feature was the way that he stylishly knocked the ball about. It was amazing to watch. I think his more attacking flair was developed at Real Madrid.
Year later but im gonna say my piece. For me, Modric is the essence of what it means to be a midfielder. Like one of the top comments said, He always plays for the team, not for himself. Thats what football is, teamwork and skill. Same with Zidane. Modric carried a country that isn't even top 5 to a world cup final. He is a legend of the game.

I wish more people could watch him live playing. only then do you see how much space he holds and how he controls the game.. I watched a few games when he was still playing in dinamo. he would simply control the whole field himself, a very intelligent player who plays with his brain..

@@krysztiane3061 im city fan but Modric is best midfielder of all timw
i think he even played some time as left winger in Dinamo Zagreb.
This is before Quatar... After his performans in Quatar I yust can say - Bravo Maestro ! 🇭🇷🇭🇷
Modric deserves his flowers. 💐If one loves the art of dribbling and passing, Modric is a good example of such skills. 🙇♂️No modern midfielders have won 5 champion league besides those in RM.
Even as a professional it was pretty hard foe him. Back in the 03/04 season he played on loan at Zrinjski Mostar in Bosnia and Hercegovina. Most people recognized his technical abilities, but Luka was always very slim and seemed fragile. That's why many thought he wouldn't withstand in a more professional league. Still he didn't listen to those people and he became one of the greatest footballers. I can really recommend reading his autobiography, truly an inspring story
man might be the biggest but he’s built like a tank 💪
@@RaymarFootball who play bosnian and croatian league....he play every in the world as best.very,very,hard league for young player.luka is going after bosnian league in totenham and he say that-play here is a joke after bosnian league
Zrinjski finished that season 9th i think in Bosnian league, and Modric, who was loaned player from Dinamo Zagreb, was given the award for the best player in Bosnian league that same season.
The fact that after winning the ballon do'r, career best World cup performance and multiple UCLs by 2018 he didn't think that was his peak and he could finally rest. Instead he kept pushing for more and won another UCL with elite performance proves his longevity!
He's a Madridista, winning mentality like ronaldo

@@Krato65for almost 3 seasons the only goal scorer in UCL KO for Juventus was who!? It was Ronaldo! If your parents gave you two seconds of kindness you wouldn’t be full of this much hatred towards someone for absolutely no reason.
I remeber watching Totenhamm games 10 years ago with Modric in the midfield. He was amazing there. And now he is the number 10 of the greatest club in the world and won 5 UCL, Best World Cup player and 2018 Fifa best player. He is one of the best 10 football players for sure.
I think what really helped Modric was moving to the premier league at a young age. It gave him the physical attributes to go along his obvious technical brilliance. He then combined both to reign supreme in Spain even if the Madridsta didn’t appreciate him at first.
The word legend is overused at times but there is no one in the universe that can dispute this man is a legend. We are lucky to have watched this man play the beautiful game!
If you call 23 young and already a Croatian International with a World cup and Euros under his belt, I'm 100 % sure he didn't learn his craft, nor physical strength in England... He spent a year in the Bosnian league, no referees to look after you there....
Bosnian premier league made him stronger before altough his childhood build him in first place.he was on mountains with sheeps and wolfs at age 4
Epl fans at their best again saying crap everytime. This guy modric is lik Messi they don't learn anything from league or strength, they are naturally talented and born footballers. Rare gems
You know who came from epl to laliga and played better? Hazard. And look at hazard now. It's not about epl to laliga. It's much more than that
Luka is the best what he did in Brazil World Cup was amazing. Croatia was an underdog but with Luka in the midfield they were a very dangerous team. What he is still doing at Real Madrid is unbelievable he just gets better and better. Very well deserved Ballon d’Or .
croatia was the overdog, brazil were outsiders, to be fair. croatia were defending vice champions, so anybody would be the underdog against them.
The only player to win the Ballon D'or while Ronaldo and Messi are at their peak. Still going strong at age 36. One of the greatest midfielder we've ever seen. Real Madrid legend Luka Modric ladies and gentlemen.
the only real football player to win it while these two were used as clickbait and hype vehicles.

His work in defence is juust... Damn and his ability to read the game. It was a time when there is a game on tv and with a friend of mine, we are just enjoying to watch only him in this game. Its was like "hey man , lets try to watch Mordic, just Modric. He just doesn't make mistakes man, lets try that" and maaan... whole another perspective cuz when you watch a game some individual things you aint see them. Its so entertaining and we were amazed. Have You ever tried this. To watch just the player like you are a scout. If youre not try it
I always do that, especially with Modric, he's the best player my eyes have ever seen
I doubt any other football player will mean as much as Modric does to me and majority of Croats. I was just a kid when he played for Dinamo. Watching his career grow to one of greatest was privilege. His work ethic and vision are beyond those of mere mortals. I might be bit biased, but I hope we can put all doubt aside after we win world cup.
as a mexican who knows we stand absolutely no chance, i'll be rooting for you guys
This season has cemented him being the best midfielder I’ve ever seen. Not many players make you love football so much but he’s definitely one
This is so true. When he was at Spurs I kept thinking to myself "If this guy was at a bigger club, he would shock the world". He is class! Giving me Zizou vibes...

Longevity at its finest. Definitely one of the greatest midfielders ever.
There is no other player who can copy the style of play that Modric has...He has unique skills for the football game in every single aspect...I mean just look at him,he is 37 years old and he is still playing at the top level of this game which is incredible!His vision for football is out of this world and the Ballon D'or that he won Is just an award for his career...He is definitely in the top 3 midfielders who played football of all times
Luka Modric makes football beautiful.
All time he is my number 1 midfielder i would build around. No one is like him. Just a warrior that plays whatever is needed.
There he is, 37yo with his 2nd WC medal,WC best player, Balon D'Or, 5UCL and no sign of slowing off. Kudos to Zidane Xavi Iniesta Pirlo... but Modric is GOAT
Holy crap he is 37?!
As madrid fan modric never come to close to Zidan legacy. Carrying team to world cup winner and Champions League and ballondor, his all time goat midlfilder like cryff mradadona zidane in x all-time team but modric is the great midfield of all time

oh god how much energy this player has. He never stops moving and annoying opponents on the field. This player plows the field length and breadth without getting tired. He plays for the team with exceptional silence and dedication. His passing, his sprints and his dribbling are excellent, it is sad that he is not given enough appreciation in the media or even among Real Madrid fans. All love to Modric
❤❤❤❤
The most amazing part is Modric professional, humble and down to earth.
He even worked hard to learn Spanish as soon as possible so he could communicate with the squad which mostly spoke Spanish along with staff and fans, whilst Bale barely tried to learn “buenos días”. In all his time at Madrid.
Speaks volumes of the type of person Modric is, if you see him somewhere as a fan he’ll talk to you in spanish, Bale will pretend he doesn’t understand and find a way to just leave. I know because I’ve experienced both when they used to leave the Valdebebas training grounds and we used to ask for autographs.
Wow. You are so lucky. 😀You got to see modric is real.

Man I've always wanted Modric and Messi to play together. Their unselfish styles and superior passing ability is a thing of beauty.
I was always a barca guy but i gotta give modric his respect. Hes up there with xavi and iniesta, especially after that win against Brazil
Agree with you 100% Modric is from another breed. He is not only very skillful with his feet, but also his vision of where his team mates are located. He is in my opinion, one of the best mid fielders of all time. Thanks for your video.
Modric has played such an important role in Real Madrid's glory these past years,He is easily in the top 5 midfielders of all time

One of the best Midfielder I've ever seen. Many best midfielders like, Zidane, Xavi, Pirlo and many more. But, all time my favourite players is Modric. 🙂
He is one of the best midfielder in the world. love luka❣️
It's not just that he himself is such an incredible player, it's that he is inspiring others especially at real Madrid. Showing players like camavinga, tchouameni, ceballos, ... how to play for the badge at te front of the shirt, the passion, the energy, the quality, they will learn from him and become great midfielders themselves.
I will only stick to players I watched playing. Zidane, Pirlo, Modrić, Scholes, Xavi and Iniesta. It is really hard to put one above the others, but Modrić is the most complete midfielder of them all. He is equally good in both attack and defense with positioning and closing players down. In his early years in Real Madrid he was kinda underrated, but slowly progressed to world class status and GOAT candidate for midfield. A legend for sure.
Thank you 👍
Being a barca fan I have my utmost respect for modric especially during his performance during the world cup he carried the team to the final there is no one will be able to replace him and real Madrid will feel the impact once he retires I'm just more than happy to ever witness this legend his passes and playing would just leave your mouth opened like how did he do it at the end of the day everything has to come to an end and just said that in few years i won't see him play

Modric didn't start playing at world class lvl until his late 20s... Iniesta was class off the go and still played until his mid 30s. His age makes it look very misleading
What i also appreciate about him is, he isn't flashy like some footballers. He seems like a nice guy you would invite over for dinner.
I'm not saying I prefer guys like Neymar over guys like modric
But when a flashy player can also make the basic plays it's over
Ask Messi & Ronaldo
this comment is really dumb
This is exactly what I love most about him. Despite his fame, success & achievements he's remained so humble, down to earth & just so normal. No flashiness, no showing off, vanity or debauchery like some others. He doesn't even dress or live like a millionaire. Just a nice simple guy who happens to be a world class football player.
There are players who are good in football, there are players who are great in football and then there are those players in football who are born every few decades... and that's Luka Modrić.
Something people underrate is the fact that Modric is a legit two-way player. He defends, unlike Xavi and Iniesta who relied on team pressure to gain the ball back. Modric is able to manmark players and I think it’s a big reason why Real Madrid wins the UCL so much. They can defend with 11 players for 30-50’ without a problem. They know how to suffer and they’re humble enough to do so. Lord of big teams let their ego take over when the game becomes unbalanced and try to just play their game. That’s why barca keeps on blowing leads. Sometimes you have to adapt to the flow of the game
All the times that Xavi or inesta has met modric, they have outplayed him. Y'all don't watch football, you just watch TH-cam videos
@@markelon8303 show me every moment
@@slavenlukic8 go watch el classicos

@@markelon8303 Modric isn't close to Xavi or Iniesta but he is definitely good enough to be considered one of the best midfielders of all time. They're ahead of him in terms of vision, skill dribbling passing, 1st touch etc. But modric has other qualities that they don't such as defending and strength. But Modric in his own right is an amazing midfielder, a specialist. He's like busquets, xavi and iniesta all in 1. Not better than them but more a jack of all trades whereas the former are specialists in particular skillsets.
@@kingkezz9188 i would take modric over those 3 just because of his versatility
I think it doesn't matter who's best or who won most prizes. We can all agree that all players talked about brought us many joy of watching the game. And to have such a great back story really makes you appreciate Luka as a person. Nice vid.
Modric has become my all time favorite player over the years, I absolutely love watching him play to this day!
I will definitely put him in top three of all time. He is genius, not a lazy midfielder he fights for every ball. He can teach how to get the ball out of your zone with the other team is pressing. Watch the winning goal of the 2022 champions league. He is responsible of 50% of that goal. Getting rid of Robinson and that pass with his left foot to carvajal between Thiago and Fabiano. It is just wow
Definitely top 5. What hes done and still doing is like you said unseen. He’s a goat.
We need more videos like this. W video
I think Modric is at top 5 as you said, he really is a different and superior in terms of longevity from all other midfielders.
I'd argue that he's the best Croatian player of all time and the best real Madrid midfielder of all time. if it wasn't for benzema unreal season, I'd probably argue that modric is in the run for a second ballon d'or because he also had an unreal season.
both are 1000% true. i cant think of a croatian better than Modric and he has done way more for madrid than zidane, and is a better player than pirri, amancio etc
@@AJ-lh4fp yes exactly. while I believe zidane is better player with huge impact on games that very few people in history had, his time in Madrid wasn't as successful and he wasn't as consistent. if this was a choice between 2 players, I'd pick zidane but since its about overall impact and consistency it's not even close. it's no coincidence that Madrid started dominating after he arrived and with a great partners in kroos and casiemro they formed probably the best midfield in history. very few can say they won 5 UCLs.

I was wholeheartedly supporting Croatia at this year’s World Cup, just to see my man Modric holding that Cup, alas it was not to be, however I’m not mad, the team played consistently well and made it to the semi-finals and that in its own is an achievement so I’m happy for him
Lets make this clear, Xavi and Iniesta were great, but they were playing with Messi. Also if one didn't play (Xavi or Iniesta), the other wasnt that good. Modric carries any team he plays in.
Yes this guy took a country to world cup final and semi final ...thats great achievement...
