The best part of this trio is that they are so adaptable to any given situation: unlike the other famous trios, these guys arent locked to a dogmatic system and can play in any system to adjust to opponent tactics: thats been the key to their success
True that
@@jsn14 True, valverde, camavinga and rodrygo have been instrumental when the team was behind, valverde benched modric for 2 ssns, i love that guy
@@xyx982 6:2 and 5:0 are before them. But the rest yeah.
@@xyx982 yeah Madrid has tough times vs smaller clubs it’s not common for them to have off days vs the little clubs… but they show up on the days that matter… hence 14 and 5 in 8 years
@@xyx982 Yea until the recent 4:0 Barça hadn't won for 2 years straight.
Casemiro has really improved his on the ball skills. He's more calm on the ball, his passing is really getting better, and he handles the ball more composely. Also, he's one of the players that really makes life difficult for messi
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 casemiro can do everything he always have skills. He is a good freekick taker even
@@alienleang4211 that and he's always been dangerous, with space outside the box. He's scored some pretty looking screamers
I don't recall when he made life difficult for Messi. It s rather the opposite.
This being said Casemiro is one of my favorite CDM and I am not sure he's well considered at his actual value in ream Madrid, considered his rather low salary

Money is a issue. Casi is my favorite player of madrid.
@@qkomodo9098
Well actually after casemiro became the starter of madrid messi only scored 3 open play goals vs madrid.
Yeah u can give me highlights of messi giving nutmeg to casemiro but they r useless in grand scheme of things
Kroos - one of the most underrated mid fielder, expert in long passes.
Casemiro - one of the best CDM, joins the defence and mid field
Modric - the best mid fielder of this gen. Improved with growing age, scores bangers

@@patrickdiao stats? This is football not an American sport, players can be judged on how good they look with the ball
this is the reason real madrid won ucl, real madrid played intelligently rather than being careless, liverpool went aggressive and lost their momentum midway through the game while real madrid exploited this and opened liverpool up many times during counter attacks, this is how they scored against liverpool, caught them off guard
Very true bro
@@miraclemark6120 thx bro
Liverpool literally played it to Madrid's hand. Klopp literally lacks plan B against top opposition when it comes to winning matches against them.
And Madrid forced Liverpool to play with Fabinho and making almost impossible for him to move the ball from side to side. Benzema was key.
It was clear real was on energy saving mode and punished them even when get 1 chance or few...liverpool were exhausted
KCM really is an all time trio. Honestly if I were to build a team, they would be the ones I will base my midfield line up skills on. One of the reasons why RM is unbeatable in all UCL finals game, is because these 3 are very moldable and adaptable to any form of tactics you give them. Beat an enemy by possession? Done vs Juve, beat an enemy through counter attack? Done vs Liverpool, beat an enemy by direct and fusion football? Done vs atletico, beat an enemy by absorbing and just soaking attacks and then attack them when they are no longer on guard and are tired? Done vs atletico again and man city. These 3 are simply amazing on how much adaptable they are and aren't limited to doing only one trick against differing teams on their whole careers. Simply amazing
What is direct and fusion football?

@@Kilonz0 I assume gegenpress
Many people underate modric, but in MY opinion I think he is the best midfield in the world right now. He has so many key aspects in the game. He has dribble he has passing he’s a playmaker etc. Overall people all over the world REALLY need to give Modric more credit.
Yeah Modric is just so nice to watch.....
One of the best in the history 😉
Modric has a Ballon D'or. The only person to win one since the presence of Ronaldo and Messi. No one underrates him
Very underrated, he shouldnt be compared to xavi/iniesta as his roles were quite different to theirs, he is unique just as those 2 were
he and KDB are the best in the world rn
Modric doest make mistakes since 2020 and his prime in 2018 he was brutal
One thing that never gets pointed out is the character of those three. Humble, professional and team-focused. That's rare when you have players with skills like them.
Good breakdown. Casemiro is a baby face enforcer and the most underrated midfielder in Europe. His defensive skills enabled both Marcelo & Carvajal to push the ball, at will, up the flanks. While not as good on the ball as Modric & Kroos, his overall skill level is high. Hala Madrid, Los Reyes de Europa !!!
Defensively he’s amazing, which is why it allowed the fullbacks to go up because casemiro a positioning is so unmatched he’s gonna be there if they counter attack. And if they do he’s either gonna knock the ball off a slide, tackle you, or he’s gonna tackle you hard into a foul but you’re not getting passed him. That’s what makes him so special he’s everywhere defensively, and he knows how not to get a red
Modric is truly a dream midfielder.
I hate him as a Chelsea fan
same here...that outside the foot assist for Rodrygo man🗿🗿🗿
That pass to Rodrigo during UCL😊😊
Didn’t he almost go to Chelsea?
Though not as good as Modric but Chelsea do have Kovacic.
@@rachitdang7453 honestly at this point he’s better. Modric is very old
And the other part is they are compared to Xavi, Inestia and Busquets at international level. Not only KCM are from different countries, different Academic and even bought from different leagues and still they had born to be together bond. It's a fact that KCM is the most versatile, competitive, consistent and complete in terms of every aspects for a midfield trio.
So you think these trio would beat 2011 Pep's mid trio Of Xavi, Busquests and Iniesta??
@@ciamgranda5786 why not?
@@ciamgranda5786 yes,
Not because in less time they Connect so well but they’ve won 4 UCL out 6 season when they played together.
Also had KCM played together in Academy and in their National team together, they would have won at least 1 WC because more than Attacker or Defenders, Midfielders are important imo
So you think xavi, busquets and iniesta can defeat kcm anytime between 2014-2022???
@@rohandas6626 you can’t use the word Defeat because there’s no Midfielders vs midfielders it’s one team against another. Yes why not XIB can come on top in 1-2 fixtures but KCM will win 7times out of 10 against any other team. Also had the played together since their childhood and for same NT team then it would have Been 9times out of 10. KCM They are the best midfield trio of last generation.
I truly love this Real Madrid side. The brotherhood they have built is rare for such a big club. there are no egos or divas here. everybody plays for each other, and they want to win for each other and for the fans. Hala Madrid
Hala Madrid 🙌
Casemiro is a literal one man defense, and he does it consistently. Only player I’ve seen truly pocket Messi
Ngola kante say hi
@@friedrichnietzsche2557 messi destroyed kante in 2018 UCL match lol
Pocket?😂😂. When you play in a deep block and put 3 men on Messi, this is how you feel
@@bronxbull if stopping Messi was as easy as playing a deep block, he wouldn’t have been one of the all time greats
@@joelteklu5565 Casemiro did nothing to Messi. Messi just eased a bit between 2019-21 and barca low.
Greatest midfielders team of all time 😌
There’s one aspect of modric not highlighted very well. Obv this is a holistic analysis& not an individual deep-dive.
I think its cuz this video leans more on the most recent seasons-thats perfectly fine!
But modric was like a second Casemiro in la decima & 3peat era, he would basically cover ground and track runners much like him. He was an absolute workhorse and defended like a beast. On top of all the technical qualities mentioned. Most Complete mid ever.
Work rate is insane. Even today at this age just respect.
Thank u FMS for posting tactical importance of both the greatest midfield trios for their team,this shows u r true football fan.u deserve more subscribers bro,underrated channel
Perfect combination of composure, accuracy and chaos
That's what makes them different from others
People often compare them to Barca's Xavi-Iniesta-Busquets and argue which is better. Both trios are iconic but they play so differently. KCM's main task over the years was quick transition since fast counter attacking football is what Madrid do. Barca did more tiki taka which means that their trio had more possession and their attacks took more passes and often required Xavi and Iniesta be higher up the pitch than Kroos and Modric. I remember during World Cup 2010 or so Spain sometimes would play Iniesta and David Silva (who are usually seen as Modric type of player) instead of forwards even tho they had Torres and Villa. Doesn't happen with Madrid's trio except for the last El Clasico (0:4 Barca win) where Modric and Kroos played very high so the midfield was really disjointed which ruined Madrid's game.
Well they won more UCLs than IXB.
@@rachitdang7453 IXB won more trebles though and a World cup. (ik the other trios have dif. Nationalities)
Midfield mostly wins the match Thats why Pedri Gavi Nico and Pau Torre (The New Barca Midfield) will dominate.
Nico will never be as Technically gifted as the Goat CDM Busquets but He will do great.
Im sad Riqui Puig Has to leave, He is Amazing but Not as good As Pedri and Gavi. And since barca need a CDM He cant get in the team
@@endervibez3259 hmm look after Real Madrid midfield then, Camavinga who changed the game vs every game Chelsea Psg Man City last season and there is Valverde and Tchouameni. That midfield will dominate
@@TheBallonDOrWinner-qd2gq im not too sure :) lol Good Luck to you Madridistas
Modric is King of Midfield!
5 CLs for all three of them, although Kroos won his first at Bayern ❤️🔥
Now that Casemiro is leaving, it’s an end of an era 🥹.
Thank you for all the memories Case🙌.
Thanks for forming the Bermuda Triangle midfield with Kroos and Modrić 🤍
#halamadrid 🤍🤍
I can listen to this trio's mastery for whole year non stop. This is a great subject you have chosen.
Dude it's amazing how wel you can analyse and explain!👏🏻
"We should appreciate the trio while they are still around" 😭 missing Case already... Hala Madrid!
End of an era. What an absolute legendary era it was.
While this is an aging trio there's no doubt that they have been the lung in the winning machinery that is Real Madrid. They basically own the UCL, 4 winner medals, starting in all of the finals: the stuff legacies are made of.
Beautiful video brilliant analysis and well explained well done 👏👏👏
Really appreciate this analysis but I feel like it would’ve been better to just focus on how they played in the 3peat cause this latest season was so different as they are so much older. Their game has adapted significantly although the underlying player profile hasn’t changed much. Specifically the patterns of play and how Casemiros possession deficiencies are overcome changed
Nice gesture for a legendary combo they all made for pressure
Best ever, for me,yes people talk about xavi,Iniesta,busquets,but modric ,casemiro,kroos are the best!xavi,Iniesta,busquets,were all groomed by Barca,same culture,same philosophy,and they all played for the same national team,they knew each other very well,it's like they were playing in their garden!unlike modric,kroos,and casemiro,Croatia,german and Brazil!and they played for different clubs,only to meet at real Madrid,combining their different culture,background,it's no easy work,that's why they are always special for me!
Exactly I remember Kroos always covering for Marcelo
Very rarely we've seen Marcelo in their own half
These 3 are literally gullit gang which they can defend and attack and are willing to put in the word unlike other midfielders who aren’t willing to track back or even help out in the attack.
Great analysis
Brilliant and perfect analysis..
Brilliant video
I don't know how to analyze the intricacies of football. All I know is they've beaten every type of team under the sun over and over and over. From hyper defensive teams to ultra attacking teams and teams with a balance.
Watching them play together is so beautiful
Very great video
Good video man!
Great vid
The comparison between those 3 and (Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets) is solid in terms of how many games and trophies won. But that's about it; the Barca system benefited from having Messi massively. And if you say Madrid said it benefited from Ronaldo, I agree too. But the difference is Madrid's trio longevity & how they've adapted better to change. In fact, I believe that trio is probably the best trio of all time. Because not only they're lethal offensively, but all 3 can defend, unlike the Barca side. Honestly, we might NEVER see a trio in their prime as good as those 3 from Madrid. Including national teams.
These guys arent better then iniesta xavi and busquets just let it go.
@@rafaelguasp1141 Yes they are. And you know it.
@@Sqoun lol ur only reason why they are better is because they play defense. That's not a good argument. Maybe if they took better care of the ball they wouldnt need to park the bus and wait for a counter.
@@rafaelguasp1141 Only because they please defense? Are you even blind? They won everything you can name it, 3 peat champions league, 5 to each. Stop it. Don't embarrass yourself more.
@@Sqoun they won 3 single trophies 3 years straight. You dominated after barcelona dominated for a near decade, winning 2 tripletes, a sextete, and we didnt win 3, but we won ALOT more other trophies, such as 8 league tittles out of 11. So we go for all 3, you guys go for only one, constantly trying to brainwash the fans everyday "the CL is more important then la Liga and copa del rey" to tale away from barcelona. So, you werent as good, u didnt dominate as long, u didn't win as manny trophies, and barcelona won a trophy madrid will never win. A world cup. And also with the barcelona midfield revolutionizing the game. And like u said, and I quote "they can all play offense, but madrid midfield can play defense, unlike barcelona midfield". The problem is that u are simple minded. U madrid fans always confuse team succes with individual succes. It's hard fo you guys to understand that, for example, the yea Barcelona got humiliated by bayern, messi's stats that year were WAYYYY better then Ronaldo's, even tho he won the CL that year. I can go on for days. Like u not being able to name Madrid's first 5 CL wins, and probably not even know they won their first 5 in a row.
One day I would like to be a football coach. I already have a clear idea of how I would play, so I like to learn a lot about tactics, and this channel is the perfect place for that! Thank you very much for the great, yet very simply presented tactics. I hope that you will make videos like this more regularly, especially related to Xavi tactics.
do a coach's license first and see if it suits you. The personal aspect plays a big part.

Goodbye Casemiro, my all time favorite midfielder.
Everyone would downplay this trio by Iniesta Busquet and Xavi. But the main thing is.. Modric Casemiro kross never break down even when the pressure is out of the roof. But not in the case of Barca Midfield trio.
Barca has possession. Madrid trio had mental strength and can cope with any attacking football and absorb all the pressure building by an opposition team.
This trio is unreal in every aspect except that they aren't the possession type player like Barca trio.
Greatest of all time with no doubt 🔥🔥🔥
They are imo they achieve so much it’s incredible they are also very good. Yet again it’s my opinion
Just for the title , I already gave it a like
These trio Are the best Midfield trio in history 😍
a bit of unpopular opinion, this season they werent as great as people make them, during ucl campain real were almost always losing with them on the pitch and almost all of the comebacks were made when camavinga came on and valverde moved to the mid with rodrygo upfront, they started all of the matches yes but werent the main reason real won the ucl........................This may be a shit opinion due to my lack of football knowldedge but this is what i noticed from all of ucl matches
You arent wrong at all pal..Kroos was literally a joke defensively...camavinga had to save the team
Madrid fan here: you have a pt, whilst modric maintained his level somewhat, kroos couldnt keep up with the athleticism of the opponents at a UCL level, casemiro was careless on the ball on countless occasions even in laliga, ancelloti had to bring on the legs of valverde and camavinga to free up modric (run against psg to set up 2nd goal, assist to rodrygo against chelsea).
Note: Kroos wasnt out of form, he was angry when subbed against city 2nd leg mumbling, "why me, I played well" in spanish. It was purely tactical as ancelloti had to bring on someone who could drive the ball against citys constant press
your argumentation and use of speech is good, unlike some biased fanboys
agree, also they were mostly dominated in possession throughout the knockout stage
@@ramsey2.036 Kroos did not have his best season but he put in a great shift in the final and against city in relieving the pressure. Watch the match closely
Yeah iniesta busqi and xavi are one of the best midf of all time this is smtg to not agrue with even if i'm madridista i love watching them and learn many things as a midfielder but KCM is amtg related to longevity, titles, entertainment and domination i think it's the best midf trio of all time

Best trio 🔥💯
Kroos is more dangerous with pass like xavi, and Modric is more an attacking midfielder and he carry the Ball up the pitch like iniesta but casemiro (more physical) and Busquets (more technical) they dont have any common point for me in conclusion real Madrids midfielders are more complete (phys and tech) than barças midfielders was more tech. midfielders
Go outside and say this to someone so they can slap you for me.
"They weren't obsessed with short play"
Xavi & Iniesta!
Best midfield of all time 😍😍
Feels like it was the weaknesses that made them come up with even more possible strengths
I LOVE MKS
Guys stop comparing Madrid midfield trio to bracelona midfield trio , FMS made this video to show the importance of cas-kroo-modric
That's 'PEOPLE' for you. They always like to compare.
and if u saw his preview patreon videos at the end. it looks like he will post a comparison soon
why not to compare? KCM came on top in their first season together, in 8 years together they won 5 UCLs. People underrate KCM just because they started ballin' together in last decade. People say Modric was not good in his 20s like Iniesta and Xavi but he was! Watch his matches Dinamo vs Ajax, vs Arsenal and Croatia vs Spain in euro 2012. He is my GOAT, idc about others
You're right there's absolutely NO comparison

you jinxed the trio :p
Real had one of the best midfield right now in the world and they are stacked with midfielders like kroos casemiro modric camavinga tchoumeni
Probably the only midfield pairing to match up to Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets from Barcelona. Casemiro is the most important piece of the puzzle for Madrid to allow Kroos and Modric to play their game. Let's not forget Kroos and Modric were good #10s but since Zidane took over the first time they were converted to excellent central midfielders and with Casemiro doing the dirty work at the back those three played a key role for Madrid to win 3 straight Champions League titles and 5 in 8 years, a Copa Del Rey and 3 La Liga titles in that same time period.

Goodbye Casemiro! We love you.
I will tell my children about the bermuda triangle!
Another Supercup coming this week!!!
I think the Midfield trio is good. Each player has a specific role and they keep to it. It's not dogmatic like the Barca trio. (Dogma isn't a bad thing)
But the players in Barca's trio could take up similar roles easily because there's a system. So it's natural that similar players must complement that system.
The madrid midfield determines the system (more like schema instead of system) based on the strengths, weaknesses and very importantly, current form. Making it subject to change.
Often times when one of the trio was lacking a certain quality over a period of time, they had to bring in other players to contribute to that missing feature.
Isco came in for carries behind the lines.
Valverde came in when they lack carries, & volume in coverage (ie legs), esp as Modric got older.
Asensio came in for his ingenuity.
If you were an average player in the Madrid setup, it'd show. But Barca's midfield were so similar they made everyone that played with them shine like a million stars.
Its why I'd still pick the Barca midfield (with emphasis on the system) over Madrid's.
I wait patiently for your video on their differences.
