What's really good about these guys is how quick their decisions are made and the precision with which they execute them. By time the opponent know what's happening it's already done. 2 sublime touches and they take opponents out of the game
Facts and sometimes its just one touch with these two🤯
agreed, cant really defend those 3 plays shown by Modric once he gets the ball.
Well said
No one asked for your opinion
@@tassv5909 Exactly, you have no chance.
Damn i just realize how underrated Modric is. If its Messi did those assists, people will talk it for weeks
Messi holds the record of most assist in football history. So he is doing better than Modric, but people dont really talk about it unlike what you said
@@storefedegaard hahah barcadog spotted. You proved Modric is underrated.
Just like you, bringing Messi up all the time, rent free
@@storefedegaard Fuccc messi he a bitchhh... ronaldo better, modric better, mbappe better, lewondoski better. Smoking that messi pack🚬💨💨
@@storefedegaard messi plays as a false 9 70% of his career and as winger, modric has always been a midfielder
blessed to be living in an era where we get to watch these technical titans playing the game. god bless
@neogeomaster what ? Dugachy was shit and worse as a man
Watch Pirlo or Roberto..... Those guys were something else.
The win without run mindset. True Italian masterclass.
Pirlo was a different type of player. Not much running with the ball. Pirlo and Paul Scholes were in their own zone and had their own unique maestro play style which in the modern game, i can only think of players like kroos or serigo b. Try to replicate.
Where as luka and kdb are more number 10 type of players who offer different things to pitch
@@omshree901 pirlo was not different. Just the same. Why do people think retured players are better? Makes no sence. A midfielder from nottingham is the level of pirlo. Football has evolved and players are just better now. Exept henry. He was diffrent
@@BGjunior "a midfielder from Nottingham is the level of pirlo". LMAO, that's the most stupid take I've ever heard. If u said that in public you'd get laughed at lol.
That outside foot pass from modric might be one of the best assists i have ever seen. Flawless execution!
If this is the best pass you have seen, then you should checkout kaka's pass to hernan crespo for milan's third goal against Liverpool in the championsleaue final. Or Kevin de Bruyne's pass to Leroy sane vs sTOKE City in 2017/18
@Iman Omari Pass by kaka is the same level as Modric and Kdb pass is class but not important, its against stoke city and Modric pass is a most clutch pass ever!
@@matija5555 what a nonsense comment🤣🤣🤣🤣KDB player Real Madrid 4 times in the last three seasons and produced 2 assists to Gabriel Jesus but also created the MOST chances out of any midfield on the pitch, including kroos and modric. He created 5 breakthrough passes that Sterling, Jesus, Mahrez and Foden should have scored as they were clean through goal and city would have won the last tie. Where was modric ? 🤣Barely touched the ball.
@@omariblake21 Xavi best passer ever
@@omariblake21 You are literally crying while commenting😂 Modric pass was better than de bruyne against weak team stoke city.
Lukita is the engine of Real Madrid since 2014 and what a joy he has been, music to my eyes.. i swear even if he scores 20 own goals in a game, i wouldn’t get pissed at all.
2014*
@@clrl936 2012
He was great during his 2012 worst season . He just overshadowed by Ozil
@@adityabasnet528 Prime ozil and modric was just starting so its understanble. Ozil is a great player tho
I would
For me Modric is the most important transfer for Real Madrid after Cristiano Ronaldo.
Real madrid always making good tramsfers. Dont forget Bemzema came the same year as Cristiano
@@giwrgosgalanakhs2319 A year before actually
Can't argue with that
gravesen and drenthe had the biggest impact in the history of this club.
@@wurstfinger3289 Kaka and Rodriguez too.
That Modric against 4 city players pressing was magical and that nutmeg on Silva magical
that loss, was magical
@@joej0e36 how a nutmeg isnt magical. Where tf you play football
@@cg6548 celebrating a nutmeg when you literally lost 😂
We could go on with how poor your defenders were and how Jesus made a clown out of Eder but we don't because we know there's still more to come. On the other hand you guys are celebrating Vini dusting Ferna and Modric nutmegs 😂😂
@@MCFC_AK It's 4-3 for f sake, 1 goal difference, and all the goals you scored were literally gifted to you, a slightly more organised Real Madrid in the next leg could easily kick you out, remember what happened to PSG and they were way more dominant in the first leg than City.
@@blackbox1024 acting as if you didn't get the goals gifted too. 37 year old Ferna won't be playing RB Again for Vini to Rinse him.
Also that wasn't a handball by the rules.
We made our own errors but we forced you to make errors, there's a big difference. Also don't compare us to PSG. We actually have a team rather than divas. We will go for the win again in Bernabeu and will definitely pull it off.
Magician Modric is class way above.....
I've not seen Zizou live , but I think apart from his obvious attacking talents , modric's defensive capabilities puts him apart from other greats of the game in his position.
Lol you need to go watch Zidane’s old matches, especially during his time in Juventus.
😂😂😂😂watch new sport
Zidane is the best midfielder of all time. Modric is the best of the last decade, and KDB is currently the best midfielder in my humble opinion. And there’s always people saying Pirlo is the best, well, he’s not, not even close to the 3 mentioned above.
@@Brad_Pittstop I would agree on Modric being the best of last decade, clear. Kdb or Thiago, or maybe Bernardo even, among the best at this moment but can't say I agree with Zizou being the greatest mid, I mean, I fucking love him, easily my top 5, but no, for me Michael Laudrup holds that place. On his day, Michael made Xavi's passes looks normal, Iniesta's la croqueta as boring, had elegance and touch like Zizou himself and a vision like no one ever had.
Oh Dude please.
That Modric nutmeg on Silva is magical
Well, to understand the great midfielder, nutmeg is just a trick. The vision, the first touch, etc... are way more important than this
when you watch RM as a team you don't see Modric; but when you concentrate on Modric alone that's when you start to see RM as a team.. fantastic
man how good is modric.
Modric is probably the best midfielder ever IMO. From UCLs to the World Cup performance 🔥🐐status
Agreed
Luka is absolutely untouchable, still.
I could watch this 3. assist from Luka magic every day.
Beauty of football in a nutshell.
Henry the attacking brain praising Modric the midfield brain. 👏
It's a big present for us Croatian when a player like Henry said that about Luka. Because it's also true!
Modric absolutely 100% deserved the Ballon d’Or in 2018
Pessi fan detected
Absolutely
Then sneijder deserved it in 2010, did the exact same thing as modric did in 2018 except he won a treble and was top 3 scorers at world cup… van dijk aswel in 2019 😂😂
@@cristianlopez6801 In both cases Messi was the European Golden Shoe winner and the UCL top scorer while also having the most goals and assists combined along with almost every trophies except the UCL. When Modric won Cr7 wasn't European top scorer (although UCL top scorer) or most G/A combined. It was Messi but why Modric won was because unfancied Croatia nearly won the WC as Modric the best player while winning every club trophy Cr7 also won, plus the CWC. It's fine margins. Messi was injured in 2013 and Ribery won everything but Cr7 had better individual numbers so he won it.
@@kurtchester7073 yes in 2013 ronaldo had more goals than messi and ribery combined.. funny enough ribery finished 3rd somehow messi still cane ahead. 2010 sneijder won head to head in semis eliminating barca, messi scored an amazing 0 goals at the world cup and lost 4-0 to germany in quarters. Sneijder reached the final after winning the treble and i think scored 4-5 goals. Sneijder robbed. He had a bigger impact in 2010 for club and country than modric and btw ronaldo had the best goal to game ratio in 2018 messi just played more games and ronaldo scored 4 goals at world cup including hat trick, and leading goalscorer of ucl in which they won again. Ronaldos 2018 season was better than messi 2010 season, sneijders 2010 season was better than modrics 2018 season.. somehow ronaldo lost and messi won 😂😂😂
Watching Modric is magical...
That Benzema header n Modrick pass ahh...goosebumps
1:17 That pass is straight-up prnographic. Not even fair.
The playmaking and passing of these two maestros is a joy to watch. Their level of work ethic and productivity is sensational. The GOATS of vision and game IQ.
Modric IS a genious
This is a very difficult comparison.
My brain is fried trying to compute a selection.
Okay fine....Modric it is.
The thing about these 2 is their touches and control. All they need is one touch, and the ball would be at your feet. The precision of the passes and the accuracy of their shots.
It’s all down to power and control, and they’re definitely 2 of the best in the world.
Modric is the mastermind of the midfield, change my mind.
he is not, changed the mind!
Zidane is.
@@rohangandhi2684 but he is
Kdb is 1,000 times better. Modric is to old and slow. His passes are decent but nothing compared to KDB and he has no vision compared to KDB. KDB> Modric
AGREED. "Modric is the mastermind of the midfield"
You cant teach the technique like KDB ,he see things no one ever see ,an exceptional talent while modric is the most hardworking player i have evr seen both are modern era midfield maestros
Even modric does exceptional passes.. he when you say kdb gives passes no one can see.. modric literally didn't even have to look where benzema was when he crossed the ball in the box against chelsea because he knew where the ball will go
we call modric (the elegante prince) here in middle east .
His nickname here in China: magic flute
Was watching Man City vs Wolves with my brother the other day and was telling him how great KDB is….
23 minutes into the game he had a hat trick and I looked real smart lol
😂😂😂😂 Because you are he is amazing
This is exactly what ManU midfield lacks ... World class midfielder who can deliver every game
Remember when utd fans were calling Bruno better than kdb. Jesus
@@noncynelson2901no we weren't. As a Utd fan i can tell u never thought of bruno better than KDB. At a time his form was something which made us think we got the next KDB but he couldn't sustain that form.
They're lacking like 8 competent positions.
Pogba always had the technical abilities but he doesn’t have the football intelligence these guys have. There are many players with better abilities, better bodies, faster feet, but its the brains that count. Simillar example is Thomas Müller: not fast, mediocre general abilities but he knows what to do and where to be when.
You can point to almost anything and say (This is exactly what man utd lacks) 😁😁
Modric defo deserved a ballon dor… some May argue not That year But he deserved One in his carreer
Nope
They have it all to be the best in midfield. Composure, Vision, Technique, Teamwork (Know the strategy and what your teammate habit, tendencies, their movement off the ball, their stronger leg) all underpressure, and a really good decision making balanced with taking risks
Lol Modric is a legend of the game and is in the podium for goat midfielders. Kevin “let me talk” De Bruyne hasnt done squat in continental competitions. Just a epl player.
Modrić is the best CM of the Dekade!!
By far
Modric is from another planet 💪⚽😎
Clearly you can see how much Luka has contributed to the team in UCL against big teams with the short clips...For Kevin,they use the EPL clips,it just shows how he fared in the UCL...Luka is the most world class midfielder..none compared.
De Bruyne was fantastic in the Champions league up until the second leg of the semi final lol don’t chat shit
Bro Modric was non existent in the City Madrid game ( along with Kroos )
Yea because KDB doing it against Liverpool in the PL is so much easier than Madrid doing it to Chelsea in the UCL. There's no difference. Seeing a pass is seeping a pass. Executing it is executing it. Idiot comment.
@Macolesch shit take de bruyne is a big game player statistically, I think u can find better things to say modric is better at if that’s your goal
@Macolesch Are you on drugs? Modric failed to perform against Barcelona and shows up against Rayo? KDB shows up against Chelsea, Liverpool, PSG and the likes. Not one assist the gone the whole game, but present throughout the whole game.
Let’s be honest.. anyone who understands football would realize that on a TECHNICAL level.. Luka is clear of Kevin.
Not really they're both extremely talented I've seen KDB make passes I've never seen before like his assist to Sane against Stoke in the 17/18 PL season and I've also seen Modric make passes that are amazing as well like his assist to Rodrygo against Chelsea. Both are amazing finishers in and out of the box but KDB is a bit better outside the box. Modric is a better dribbler and can get out of tight spaces like magic. KDB is more ambidextrous and its almost impossible to tell if he's right or left footed so to me Modric isn't "clear" they both barely have any weaknesses going forward but they're pretty much even to me. Both a joy to watch technically
@@schwarzmann1 You must not watch Modric.
@@GunmanNeek I do watch him and I love him and he's a top midfielder one of the best of all time but to say that KDB is technically inferior by a wide margin is just ignorant
@@schwarzmann1 That’s the issue right there “you don’t watch him” so you’re the ignorant one here. I watch both players and anyone with football IQ would see that Luka is a more complete footballer.
SIKE!
Thierry makes a great pundit
Two of the best midfielders around! There is nothing between them
artist of football.
This kind of players is what we have been lacking in Chelsea. We have no player with this type of Technical ability or gift of passing/through pass. It's just a beauty to watch this 2 always.
You've got Jorginho, I rate him and he's pretty good, not to mention Kante who literally runs your midfield.
@@HealthymemesExe How is Kovacic so underrated?
Kdb ,he runs things for Manchester city,if you man mark him, or bye pass they midfield, you will have more chance of winning, plus more high balls into there back four.
This video analysis made me subscribe. Please post more video analysis.
And now, after I watch their 2nd match, where Luka outrun KDB, like if he was younger guy.
Luka is one class above Kevin, it is as simple as that.
I still can't believe that he used to play for Spurs and not have their bottling talent.
Truth of the day is not the truth !
"Outrun" LOL
Luka was the worst player in the second leg 🤣
@@nsb2k429 Did you actually watched the game? At one point Luka and Kevin went after a ball. There, older player, Luka, outrun younger one.
@@DS-pk4eh You actually watched the game??
See the position of Luka, he had more advantage than Kevin in that run!!
"This guy at 36 running the show"
Modric is underrated
OVERrated to the most extreme they defination of a media player
Madrid this season has been nothing short of magical
when. Henry speaks the room listens
The game of city its more a advantage for de bruynne becaause The construction of city is more slow and a slow based construction helps de bruynne tó see that one player tó playmake it, and The reál Madrid in Last 10 years was a team of counter attack and that type of game needed a solod deffensive issues for Luka and The Last pass could be given from anywhere...
they both are best gamemaker of this time
Imagine these 2 and Kroos in the same team
Bruh, you are a criminal if you are comparing KBD with 4 times UCL winner and the Ballon D’or winner.
You are talking about teams statistics not individual..
@@kellyadventure530 as an individual Modric has a Ballon D’or, what does KDB has?
@@mehedihasanmeraj357 the problem is that Ballon D'or is voting. Statistics in terms of chances creation assist and goals are just there for us to use too.
@@kellyadventure530 yes! But it's also important if a player put impact on the game or not! Leadership, wining mentality, and everything! If we talk about chance creating and technicality, I can say that Neymar is better than Messi! I am not against any player! I am against these British pundits, who are always biased towards English football. For example: a player from England gets higher price tag than a player from other country. The way they compare these things, looks like only England plays football and everyone is just there to watch.
@@mehedihasanmeraj357 I agree about the pundits. All they do is make people choose sides and compare instead of just enjoying the beautiful game.
Dangerous match
Modric is the best midfielder alive and top 5 of the 21st century. De Bruyne is the only player that could fill his shoes at Real Madrid, from a Madrid fan.
no. kaka, ronaldinho, xavi, iniesta, zidane.
Modric is so overrated not much splits him and Rakitic. So why inflate him so much
@@wurstfinger3289 Except for maybe Xavi all of those had a more offensive role in their teams
@@blank1933 Don't remember which player it was but he said that he played against DeBruyne while he just chased Modric, you should go back to some big matches and just watch closely what he does
ballon d'or cant be compared with a good midfielder. this isnt a comparison!
Yep!
Kdb the best of the best always
In a game where everybody has almost the same extraordinary physique, the few people who use their brain too make the difference.
Not a lot of players use their brain, looks like they just play on autopilot or something.
e.g. defenders looking at the ball instead of the opponents' run
Don't be lazy and turn your head twice every 5-10 seconds and you won't be surprised ever
De Bruyne is going to be next Modric in a few yers and Modric is one of the top 5 midfielders of all times probably
maybe this is just my opinion but any real football fan already know their greatness , i feel like we need to put the light on players that arent really given probs like Camavinga per examle , everytime he subs in he takes control of the midfield and the game it self he always puts pressure and can bring the ball up with ease and no pressure , extremely fast and never stops running makes and he always makes world class passes everytime he lets go of the ball , his finishing isnt the greatest yet but when he gets more minutes and he will get the hang of that and yea he is only 19...
Curious that they show CL performances for Modric and only league plays for KDB
Modrić I am so proud I am Dalmatian and Croat like you 😊
I’m not saying he’s as good as Messi, but Modric plays how I imagine Messi would if he was an 8
THIS
Nice imagination
Prime Modric is one of the all time greats. KDB is still in his prime and on his way to become a legend himself. But he’s gonna have to win the CL soon. Seedorf had won 3 CL’s with 3!! different clubs by the time he was 26 or 27. And a lot of players at real won three in a row, albeit with a bit of luck twice against Bayern Munich.
Messi does what Modric does week in week out dawg
@@jensuhn9295 and Modric does what Modric does week in and week out 🤷🤷
Deepest restpect to the Croat- From a Cule!
watching the passes be thinking like "this is craaaazy"
There is a reason why KDB doesnt get 100 assists a year 🤣
Raheem Sterling is their to fluff his all assist..
@@maxmaxie1328 its everybody except ederson XD. Sterling was his fluff back in the days
Kevin tied the record of most assists in the premier league when Aguero was way past his prime and leaving for Barca the year after. When Sergio left, he never got replaced. KDB has the most goals for City in the league this season , you know something is seriously wrong when that happens.
Yes, he's called raheem sterling.. that fucker..
Sterling single handedly keeping Ballon D Or away from KDB 😂
Modric has been the best midfielder in the last decade.
nah, because iniesta, pirlo, xavi and harry maguire played last decade, too.
@@wurstfinger3289 i agree with the last part
My god.....KDB the best
Messi/Ronalgo can be gone flop on certain days but these two gem would never.🔥
Imagine if Henry played with modric or Ozil ....
One word for KBD in evry one mouth:big game player🔥
I'll take either or
They are both fantastic midfielders that are specialist in their roles. KDB being a box to box type with great ambidexterity of both feet. Modric reminds me of a hybrid between Xavi and Pirlo, capable of mastering tight spaces of midfield and also delivering accurate passes and incisive long balls.
I think they define the definition of the perfect modern midfielder. However if compared with the great midfielders like Zidane, Maradona, they are still not at that level. Maradona on the other hand, is a rarity of one in probably 3 or 4 generations. I rate him higher than CR7 and Messi all down to the terrible conditions of the pitch back in the 80s and the extremely tough tackling style of the defenders back in his time. Yet he moves and gravitates with such magnetic flow with the ball that Messi would find it tough back then.
Kdb is so complete, simillar with Gerrard but better, He is smarter.
เห็นจุดนัดพบที่พอดี จ่ายไปตรงนั้นได้
คิดไว เพราะไม่คิดเลยต่างหาก
จะฝึกตำแหน่งนี้ยังไง ในเกม คือฝึกจินตนาการ
instinctive players.
Modric and Benzema has carried the whole Madrid team this season! Just shows that when u have quality, u don’t need quantity. Debruyne is class above everyone else at City. Compared to his efforts, city’s striker r pathetic at their finishing. You very rarely see City strikers beating the goalie. It’s a diff thing that collectively they play well to score goals. But they can’t score in 2v3 scenarios which Benzema has done it so often this season. Just look at that Goal by Rodrigo against Chelsea. You will not see PL teams do that
Because Fraudiola wants them having possession and control. He won’t teach that to players.
Add Courtois and Vini
@@ppate8 lol, hilarious to think that the manager with second most titles of all managers in European football history could still be called a fraud by some kids. Just say that you don't like him instead of come up with stupid bullshit like that.
@@ppate8 barca was doing very well infront of goals with the same fraudiola.
Its almost as if sterling, mahrez and Jesus are overhyped trash ...
Oh wait! They are indeed.
@@omshree901 English players are the problem for most teams.
Man I used to dream about a luka modric-Kevin de bruyne duo in our midfield and I am a Real madrid fan. Both are generational talents. But hey KDB choose to play for City unfortunately he'll have no european trophies 😂
I would like to see De Bruyne move to La Liga before he gets too old. Selfishly I'd want him in Barcelona, but I think he would have the Champions League guaranteed if he went to Real Madrid
He is a Man City legend and we love him as much as Aguero or David Silva our greatest players ever, no way he will move at least for the next 4 seasons. Keep dreaming the chanca to win it this year and next one with Haaland there is no à better place to play football
You don't know that. It's a new generation for both teams. Soon Madrid won't have any of the players that helped them win the UCL so many times. He can win the UCL with Barca too if he goes there. Hell, he might win it right now with City
De bruyne is a city legend already he won’t leave any time soon he’s probably up there with silva and toure as technically the best ever players in city
Why not just stay at City
@@jorgefernandez8728 lmao real madrid just knocked yall out
KDB better in attacking position and luka better at defending tasks, reading game, breaking lines of passing...I don't want to compare them I just can imagine them playing together in one club...that would be brutal
It's almost like one is an attacking mid and one is complete center mid
Thiago also same lvl with them
those assists jesus christ ....
4 UCL trophy midfielder vs non UCL...hhmmm i dont understand the comparison
Take Modric out of Madrid and they will still win 4 ucls
Modric is far clear of de bruyne. You can even see it in the video with the vision and type of passes compared to de bruyne. That’s not mentioning what modric has won…
Also the fact that Modric's highlights in this clip are from the Champions League they had just played and KDB's are from the prem from who knows how long
Maybe bec Modric plays for Madrid the team with the most Ucl's before modric even came there thats why he dominates He also had the best striker at that time benzi and kdb had sterlig and STILL put more Numbers up than modric.@@Flowku
Kdb is so clear of Modric one has the better g/a in less games played and in the hardest league in the worl fam modric couldn't perform in the prem we saw that with spurs.
Modric is the best player in Real Madrid right now
Anyone know what kind of software they use for these breakdowns?
Good players can do what’s expected of them.
Great players can do more than what is expected.
Micah Richards is right. For almost any other player, there was no good passing option. Somehow De Bruyne makes a good passing option. One that no one else saw.
That cross on jesus head is something i just cannot explain to people. Wipes out 3 defenders and lands perfectly on your head. crazy!!
"Sterling should have tucked this one away" - well duh, as well as other 8 out of 10 chances he gets. Dude either scores tap ins or against easy opponents..
😢 awake since 4
Modric rightfully deserved the Ballon d'Or in 2018. Period.
De bruyne will be a perfect subtitution for modric at madrid when modric decided to retire
Different positions though
Modric looks like him, plays like him..
name the player I am hinting at community!?
El Madrid ya Juega en la Liga Premier básicamente va ganar la premier League también 👏🏼
Dani carvajal
KDB might be the most intelligent football player in the world. Never seen vision like it.
maguire
Comparing modric with kevin guy is crime
KDB is just magical, and I think at the end of his career we might be talking about the best midfielder to ever play the game.
LoL he is excellent but he will never be in the top 10...that bar is way high.
Zidane..maradona...xavi...iniesta
@@lightwarrior8785 great start for a top bracket...ill go on with....platini, pirlo, seedorf, kaka,modric, scholes, makelele, schweinstiger...and this is just a very loose modern day list of people that have outdone KDB by miles....
A GOAT midfilder is too far too soon...i love him and wish he gets his due...but almost all of the above mentioned are on a throne vs KDB
He is YOU will never accept him as top 10 bec he doesn't play for Madrid of barca@@anshdude007
I think henry was a naturally gifted player but I also think he don't know football like he think he does,his analysis be all over the place.
For me KDB the best midfielder in this season
I think the question of who is better is easy to answer by asking 2 easy questions:
1. Put Modric in the Belgium Golden Generation Team and do they win the World Cup?
2. Put De Bruyne in the Croatian Team and are they still waiting for a repeat of WC 1994?
KDB for the brilliance and world class passes. He never does it when it counts on the big stage.
Too relaxed doesn't have that bite or edge to be completely no.1 and win big games. Mentality is a tad weak imo
