He's always been an incredible midfielder, but since 2018, winning the Ballon d’Or and tying the record for most Champions Leagues with 6 has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players ever, not just midfielders
Croatia first golden generations was third in 1998 world cup, also croatia from 1994 to 1998 went from being 125 in the world to third in fifa rankings
I always got hate for this, but as someone who started watching football in 2011 I will always stand on this that Luka modric is the greatest midfielder of this modern era if not of all time
In “pub” conversations most of the time no one brings up how many LPF awards, or even team of the year anyone has for that matter. Unless they’re actually discussing who should be in the upcoming team of the year. Kids that argue Messi and Ronaldo all the time don’t represent most football fans
5:20 funny enough I still remember this game and goal because hours later I watched my first super bowl, where the denver broncos defense annihilated cam newton and those 2015 panthers 😅
Only really Dinamo Zagreb and early days with Croatia where he was utilized offensively, never really trusted enough in Spurs or Madrid for that role, he was class playing deeper but i'm still convinced he never got the most out of his career.
I always wondered, what would be if he, by some coincidance, ended up in Barcelona, instead of in Madrid? He would play with Messi, which would fit him far better than Ronaldo did. I believe that it would be incredible team...
11:42 not sure, i guess it is kinda difficult because back in the day a lot of number 10s were considered more midfielders than attackers, in that case everything changes cause Maradona would clear all of them with ease, but if we go with today's standard, i guess, off the top of my head, either Platini or Zidane, Matthaeus might also have a shot, but i am not sure i think he is more on the Modric sphere...which is still in the top 10 for sure.
The league power hasn’t shifted, city bayern pool have had surges. But in the past 3,5,10,15 years Spanish teams have dominated. The true kings of Europe 👑
Statistically Modric best season was in 2021/22 season where scored 3 goals and provided 12 assists compared to his ballon d’or season 2 goals and 8 assists.
@@5star1z imagine using goalscoring stats to determine the quality of a midfielder, you Ronaldo fans should start realising that stats ain't everything
@@5star1z You people don't understand football... Luka plays in midfield, but not attacking or defense midfielder, he's passing to Ronaldo was 1 scored from 11 dead chances, from that Ronaldo is trash, but he isn't or wasn't... They took of an 11 minute movie of Modric passing the ball to his players up front, it was such a disaster from Real Madrid attackers, they were missing such a chances, it was ugly to watch... Benzema, Ronaldo, Bale, Isco, Morata, Higuain, Asensio...
James Rodriguez wasn’t a flop.. zidane didn’t like him and didn’t play him enough but he always did well when he played and scored sometimes too I remember
@@ilyassebenana3824 i aint no ronaldo fan or a messi fan lol both of them are legends but ballondor does not define them , its the accomplishments/trophies they have won/did akhi just my opinion , for example world cup or a champs or prem or top goal scorer
Real Madrid fans booed Cristiano in 2017 - 2018 he played one great game vs Juventus in Torino, but in Madrid, he was the worst player on the field, as he was vs Liverpool and many other games... While Luka was MVP of every tournament played in 2017-2018 season Just look at clubs world cup, Ronaldo was trash, Modrić feeding him the dead chance, Ronaldo fuked everyone of them, he cought 1 from 10... Modriću by far deserved not one but two
2018 is such a doozy for me. Not saying that Modric isnt a generational midfielder obviously he has the feats to back up everything hes done but the 2018 Ballon D'or felt like they just gave it to a random player.
1. Iniesta 2. Zidane 3. Xavi 4.Modric 5. Pirlo 6. Gerrard 7. Kaka 8. Lampard 9. Busquets 10. Kroos 3 and 4 could be switched around depending on preference. This is just my opinion and it’s since 2000.
A university make a study of the 2018 balon dor and messi should have won it. The most data of any season. Analize the performace of every player, not collective achievements,since that doesnt matter but people think its important
@@Nothimx11 i knew this type of comment was coming about trophy(i adressed it in My original comment). Balón dor is about individual performance not collective achievements.
@@Nothimx11 so are You going to follow that Bad criteria? If everyone keep accepting that ,it will never change. Balón dor is for the Best i'm the world, i go with that. If people keep accepting that Bad criteria it should change ,to the Best of the winner team. And not the Best of the world.
@@Nothimx11 exactly we don't need stat paddesñrs , we need deep stats that in the current Game don't Even exist, just in that season . They stop doing that amount of data because is too much,
Modric won the Ballon Dor in 2018 over Ronaldo because those r*pe allegations and controversy resurfaced again in 2018. Ballon Dor has always been a popularity contest over actual football
Ronaldo only had the ucl speaking for him, domestically he didn't do much and was outshined by Messi, and in the world Cup he had that one good against Spain but then disappeared as always in the knockouts. But yeah let's blame the allegations and the organisation as a whole to cope with the facts.
As a Madrid fan, blessed to watch Modric for last 10 years
12
He is one of the few players that have no haters.
He's always been an incredible midfielder, but since 2018, winning the Ballon d’Or and tying the record for most Champions Leagues with 6 has cemented his legacy as one of the greatest players ever, not just midfielders
I’m Croatian so this means a lot to me. You should react to Croatia road to the 2018 World Cup Final next if you haven’t already.
Croatia first golden generations was third in 1998 world cup, also croatia from 1994 to 1998 went from being 125 in the world to third in fifa rankings
Tbh to understand how good he is you actually have to watch him play. This applies for all top midfielders.
14:37 it was their 1998 world cup squad that finished 3rd
This man did not call Gianluigi Buffon a "buffoon" xD xD you got some homework to do on that man Bronco
Ahmed Musa is a World Cup legend yno 🤣🤣 he pops out every 4 years and drops a masterclass against Argentina then disappears
Da bronco is the best youtuber ever
FIFA World XI is cold. It’s basically All Team NBA but Footy 😛
I always got hate for this, but as someone who started watching football in 2011 I will always stand on this that Luka modric is the greatest midfielder of this modern era if not of all time
😂
He's definately the greatest i've witnessed. I started watching in 2013

i wish more people knew this
5:20 funny enough I still remember this game and goal because hours later I watched my first super bowl, where the denver broncos defense annihilated cam newton and those 2015 panthers 😅
U should react to Rakitic if u havent already because hes one of the most underrated players of our generation
and he is still active and playing well
Only really Dinamo Zagreb and early days with Croatia where he was utilized offensively, never really trusted enough in Spurs or Madrid for that role, he was class playing deeper but i'm still convinced he never got the most out of his career.
I agree!

@@Wache3Then Barca would win all that what Real did. That's who he is.
Bro you are the most funny bro ever. Cheers from Croatia 🎉
Unbelievable that Madrid got him for just 30mill, it’ll be 300mill by today’s market price
not today maybe during 2020-2016
The way he pronounces Buffon 💀
Bafoon
And dieballla 😂
He is a great midfielder, one of the greats. The Croatian 🇭🇷 magician 🪄
To be honest you gotta react to each player on that team, insane team, just insane

FIFA world 11 is really the main one in terms of how good of a season did you have. It’s the equivalent of NBA 1st and 2nd All-Teams/ NFL All-Pro

How do you not have millions of subs yet🤦🏽♂️
boo-phone 😂😂 bro was saying it wrong
Funny thing is @ 7:25 Modric was the one vote that would've decided between Messi and Haaland but guess who he voted for
Zidane in the convo too 11:41
Best cm of all time I’ll say is zidane for me
W Ahmed Musa ❤❤
Bro Bronco, you finally react to the QUALITY
1st golden generation of Croatia was in 1998 world cup in France
And they dont call you the American Luka bro. You didnt even win a league trophy in any club on Fc24 😂😂 hopefully the comeback is strong in 25
He was in his prime in 2006 ... What are people talking about!!!
Luka Modric won CL before Casemiro and Kroos were in Madrid
Please react to Guti!!
8:53 Bro lost his all his aura by calling the legendary goalkeeper BuFOon.😭😭😭😭😭-auraaaaaa😭😭😭
James rodriguez was actually not a flop, he was good for rma. he didn't get enough playing time when zidane took over
Lukita🤩
Respect Buffon by saying his name right. He is arguably the besk GK of all time.
Why its that so important? I have never heard anyone say Ronaldo or Ronaldinho right and I havent ever heard no one crying about that.
League awards are important. Don't let trolls on twitter lie to you. PFA, LPF, FWA all important.
9:31 I will cry in this knowledge 😂😂😂😂🥲🥲
Reddit is pretty good for football discussion depending where you go
Modric is goated
React to Keylor Navas
James wasn't a flop at Madrid. It's just that he wasn't in Zidane's plan
the sponsors peeled off in rain matches
Ballon d'or all day
Bronco can you react to raymar's video about Alexandre Pato
and epl is "running things" now? lmao
You gotta react to barcola bro 🔥 🔥
Everytime they pronounce Kroos like Cruz i cringe so hard.
James Rodriguez wasn’t a flop.. zidane didn’t like him and didn’t play him enough but he always did well when he played and scored sometimes too I remember
Ballondor is a popularity contest friends voting for friends as henry said , but yes modric is one the best midfielders off all time
Not really, that's just something Ronaldo fans say to cope, however, it is questionable at times
@@ilyassebenana3824 i aint no ronaldo fan or a messi fan lol both of them are legends but ballondor does not define them , its the accomplishments/trophies they have won/did akhi just my opinion , for example world cup or a champs or prem or top goal scorer
Zidane is the goat of Midfield
Please react to modric trivela passes
the way he says Zidane causes me physical discomfort
For me the best midfielder ive seen is Ozil and Iniesta
I wish i could go back and watch him live. I started watching football in 2013 and never really followed arsenal or the prem at the time

Exactly
Messi and Cristiano both deserved it so much more, Ballon d'Or lost its credibility since that year for me
What exactly? It clearly was modric for win.@@PessiIstrash-ob5oo
@@nitoincogModric was better
Iniesta is the greatest midfielder of all time, you should react to him next.
Zidane>>>
Modric was way better jn his first 2 seasons at Madrid
Zinedine Zidane over Andrés Iniesta all day and it's not close
Modrić read Modrich... Americans 😒
To be fair The first few outings of Modrić in Brazil Were not the best
It’s Iniesta or Zidane
Why are saying boo to pique he was very good cb what u waffling about
1. Iniesta
2. Zidane
3. Xavi
4.Modric
5. Pirlo
6. Gerrard
7. Kaka
8. Lampard
9. Busquets
