His respect for Rakitic and Bale >>>>>>> you cannot dislike Modric
I believe rakitic is severely underrated, luka is a legend and rak is right there with him
@@UncommonSense76 nah, modric is much much MUUUUUCH better than rakitic
and Im not a madrid fan, Im a Croat
@@aeyes1314 love Croatia, will be there in July

@@Maji0.07 Modric je jedan od najboljih igraca svih vremena, s njim se rakitic ne moze ni mjerit
Love Mordric... that dude gets better with age. We are blessed to see such a great player take to the field.
Wow when modric speak full stop nothing again what a legend
Btw modric is one year younger than cristiano. So hard to tell.
Lies again? Resume CV
@@NazriB wut?
modrich not modric
Modic is in my opinion the best midfielder in Europe for years. Dude is such a class act. Glad to see him get his flowers
If you put in the longevity, consistency and offcourse the individual awards he won including the bdor, he is arguably the greatest midfielder of all time
@@subhansheikh5576 he is
In recent years yeah. He could never top Zidane.
@@rossa23 He is clear of Zidane.
Chill out. He’s not on Xavi, Iniesta or Zidanes level. He is fantastic though
Best midfielder of the last decade.
One of the greatest midfielders of all time. Can attack, defend, carry the ball, dribble, amazing short pass and long pass, great leader, and was the key man taking Croatia to a World Cup final and a 3rd place finish.
Absolute legend. Wish he had come to United in 2011 when Sir Alex wanted him. Screw Daniel Levy for messing about with United in that summer of 2011.
Morris didn’t want to join your banter club just like de jong rejected you lot.
Xavi and iniesta are better
@@el.pd10 no
@@el.pd10 did they get a balon o dor? No. No discussion
@@lb9931 Michael Owen got a ballandor, doesn't mean he's better than Suarez or Lewandowski.
as a barca fan this guy is truly one the greatest footballers ever, not just as a cm. respect for the rakitic pick as well😉
I love that the “modric-kroos-casemiro” vs “iniesta-xavi-busquets” debate is the one debate it seems Madrid and Barca fans dont jump to each others throats whenever it starts.
I think Madrid fans can appreciate and admire the IXB while barca fans can do the same for the CMK.
Awesome midfield trios that football fans can just love for what they are, even if they like one more than the other at the end of the day
@@Jefstito thats 100% true bro, i am a Real Madrid fan and my idol was Iniesta, the best midfield in history is Zidane, Modric Iniesta for me
@@Andr3w- now, thats a sexy ass midfield, not gonna lie
Im surprised he picked Rakatic over Kovacic
@@ernieb8490 As a madrid fan you shouldn't be,they played with each other for a ton on years but rakitic was pure class
Gareth bale (in summary)
- 2 times pfa poty
- pfa young poty
- fwa footballer of the year
- premier league POTS
- dragged spurs to cl
- la decima..copa del Rey..multiple CL'S
Scored on the biggest nights on the biggest stages
- stats better than r9 figo zidane and David BECKHAM at Madrid
- took wales to EURO SF..
- also to a wc after 63 years of wait...
Still some people underestimate him🤦♂️
Luka modric clearly knows his quality..as he is quality himself
couldn t say it better myself
Best British player in recent times
2018 ucl final bicycle kick
@@uknowsme2365 header in ucl final against atletico 2014, THAT goal in the copa del rey final vs barcelona, hatrick in the semi-final of the club world cup 2018. maybe he had one bad season, but overall he was well worth the price tag.
Still though those ears.
Modric is a living legend. He’ll always have a special place in Madridistas hearts. I was was wondering if that’s the whole interview!
👍🇭🇷🙋♀️
You have to be in spain to be a madridsra
And Davor Suker ❤
WHAT A LEGEND!!! MODRICCCC!!!!!
One thing i have noticed that whenever any player talks about cristiano they always says that his work ethic, hardwork, dedicated towards the game and most importantly he always want more is out of this world something unreal. For me he is my idol i have learn so many things from him. 🐐
He doesnt care about U at all..

Humble, respectful on and off the pitch.But on the pitch he is silent assasin with his technique, football IQ.
This guy is easily in top 5 midfielders of all time he’s got everything skill technique balance strength IQ work rate professionalism
Easily top 10. top 5 is very hard but maybe he even is top 5 😅
He certainly doesn't have strength. And no he's not 'deceptively strong and wirey' either lol. He's physically very weak.
@@lNeVaR He is easily in the top 5.
Modric, Zizou,Pirlo,Xavi,Iniesta
@@lNeVaR wtf easily top 3
@chessmech853better than Everyone except Cryuff. Modric won more trophies than Cryuff did and went as far in as Cryuff in the world cup(Final).
As a hardcore lifetime FC Barcelona fan, I love Modric so much (except when we play against Madrid). Such a wonderful human being & he’s overlooked in terms of football… One of the best midfielders of this generation hands down! Pure Class
Bro Modric is not overlooked, by everyone’s admission he’s a living legend. Top 5 midfielders ever and for me personally he’s the best.
Not overlooked at all. Guy won a ballon d or without being a major goalscorer
I’m glad he mentioned Kroos… cus honestly he is soo underrated, it’s not even funny.
Greatest passer. Rival Beckham, Xabi Alonso
@@officialzacadammorrison 💯absolutely no argument from me
He is one of the few players in history who should be asked "who are the other 4 in your five-a-side?
I remember when Rio asked Ancelloti his first midfield pick in his all time team and he said "Modric without a doubt". Crazy huh. Modric is that guy. Gotta love him.❤
Lol what is this myth?
@@Al-ji4gd It's okay if you don't believe it. But I know upon seeing that video you will bow your head down in shame. Go check it out.

Rakitić is underrated asf. I always liked seeing The Two top clubs at the time Madrid and Barca having two Croatian players
Rakitic should have been at Madrid not uefalona he ruined his legacy
Most humble footballer
This is why he’s in my pes team
SMASH the LIKE button if you like Modric and let us know in the comments who you would like to see next???
Next should be Scholes 🔥🔥
Rooney
HENRY
Toni Kroos
That man Kroos
If he didnt feel forced to pick a fellow Croatian and a player with the Spurs connection he would ve said Ramos Casemiro Kroos Cristiano Benzema but its cool.
I look at this man play football at the highest level at 37 years old and I cant believe my eyes.. i think if we take a step back.. look at his entire career at club level and international level, his BDO, his medals.. his ability and football IQ.. how can anyone say he s not the best midfielder to ever play the game? What an absolute gem of a player. Midfield king. When he retires the Bernabeu will be full of tears of joy.. his testimonial will be unbelievable.
Huge guest, modric is one of my favourite players
Class act from Lukita. Thank you for giving Rakitic his flowers.. such an underrated player.
I've been blessed to see so many talented footballers in my lifetime, some truly great midfielders, and Modric deserves to be mentioned with the greats in his position. What a legend.
What a guy, technically the best midfielder of this generation. He could do it all. I thought he was going to put Benzema or Casemiro in.. he did give them a mention though. Great that he spoke so highly of Bale, a superstar at his peak.
Xavi and Iniesta were better than him but he's up there without doubt.
@@tsampson6660 thats nostalgia bias, Modrić is leading RM to a 15th ucl title and he’s pushing 38, there’s no way they’re better than him. They all sit in the same table but Xaviesta are NOT better than Modrić
@@lowkeyleanin they are definitely on the same level of good which is 10/10. Is stupid to compare perfect midfielders. Modric has aged way better but he started shining at 27. Xavi and Iniesta were already winning everything at that age...they just aged worse. But the 3 of them are so good is just silly to compare
@@lowkeyleanin Casemiro won 5 too...Kroos too..
@@adriangarrido5013 cant leave kdb out of that either, hes among the best
MY OG Midfielder of all time !! Goat !! 🔥🔥
Kids these days who started watching football from 2018.
@madtitan_bringerofgenocide to be fair modric is one of the greatest midfielders ever even for us who watched in early 2000s.
He's been the engine in 5 champions league runs. Took Tottenham to champions league when they used to not do that (alongside Gareth bale on his prime) and also led Croatia to THREE top 3 finishes in the world cup.
In terms of what I was able to watch I can only say pirlo Zidane and xavi are ahead of modric. But if you actually look at their on field contribution, not their skill only modric has inmense skill insane positioning and on top of that he can recover the ball and make amazing passes. Even at this age just look at the way real Madrid scored in anfield couple weeks ago.
Pirlo was special in terms of passing range and free kicks. Xavi was an overall more accurate passer and through balls was insane. Zidane is more of a CAM not a pure CM but he could play everywhere. As good as Zidane was, and pirlo, and xavi they all left Europe or retired by age 35.
Modric was arguably the best player in Madrid and Croatia at age 37
@@madtitan-bringerofgenocide enlighten us with your top midfielder and I'll see if that makes sense
@@cupidf1freak Zidane
@@nicknick8699 see this is exactly where the YT bias comes in. I've watched Zidane play for Juve and Madrid. He was good and aesthetically pleasing to the eyes but have you seen him throughout the seasons? He was average in some games and world class in others. He was nowhere near consistent as Luka is and controlled the games as Luka does.
PS: I love Zidane but Luka does it for me
Wish this interview was longer
One of the best of this era. Gracias Modric
Luka modric and Gareth bale
Damn..how Tottenham got hold of such great players..and still didn't win anything
The lack of the winning mentality
Modric in Tottenham was not the same as the Modric in Real Madrid
@@Heman425 i know..but still was very good..there's a reason Mourinho brought him to Madrid..and i remember bale tearing up inter milan alone
@@Heman425 he was still incredible we all knew he was destined to be one of the best
@@SteveJoe911 lack of backing. Good managers who didn't get backed by levy and that's why we couldn't get over the finish line. Same is happening with antonio conte.
Modric one of the best...great to see him play
no ego or selfishness about him, always about the team. This is pure class
For me modric is coming straight from 90’s , the style of playing and class
I wish there was a timeline where Modric and Messi ended up playing together. That would've been something special to witness.
He's one of the best players I've seen. Absolutely vital to Madrid's success.
Iniesta Xavi Modric in midfield would be to crazy they would have 80 % possession every game 😅

Best midfielder EVER!
One of the best midfielders of all time. He has it all. Great technique, vision, tactically great in defense. He always knows what to do with the ball even when the opposite team is pressing high.
If you love football, and have seen him play, you have to choose him in your ideal team.
Modric is on the same list with xavi and iniesta
Above them
And pirlo
Above Xavi, same as Iniesta
Xavi was a nobody before 2008 Pep

Luka 🐐
Luka Modrić the legend best midfielder ever Croatian magician maestro 🇭🇷 🇭🇷 🇭🇷 🇭🇷 🇭🇷 🇭🇷
The way he speaks is so soothing. Is a pleasure to see Modrić inside and outside the pitch.
Modric and Kroos is the most succesful midfield-duo ever! And both easily belong to the best players in the history of this sport on their positions.
More complete than Xavi and Iniesta imo
Xaviesta of course are better possession wise but they couldnt do it all
@@kukunase1686 But they DID do it all though. They were better in possession, scored more goals, and took their cerebral play to the internationals, winning both the Euro and World Cup. How many World Cups did Modric win? How many UCL knockout goals did he score compared to Xaviesta?
@@cadenhnc My guy, they play together with spain. Cant imagine what both Kroos and Modric would do if they were same nationality. They would win it all like few times. It would be total domination.
I remember when he first came to real from spurs it was always so frustrating watching him because he wasn't fitting in yet but man, he's imo, and don't come crying because this is only my opinion, arguably the best midfielder for the last 6 7 years
Modrić,Boban & Prosinečki... Great midfielders from Croatia,Artists...
💪🇭🇷💪🇭🇷
Great Ferdinand.
To me the Croatian national team players look like a single player on the field (their formation as athletes is something unique in the world), the only difference is that one of them is called Luka Modrić... This drives me crazy.
He is certainly in my team of the best of all time!
I don’t understand why Modric is so overlooked when talking about someof the best midfielders ever to play. He’s def up there. With all his achievements with RM on top of what he did for his national team. sheeessh. yeah he’s up there with the best of them.
He isn't overlooked. It is common consensus that it is Modric, Iniesta, Xavi and Zidane, at least if we are talking modern ages.
He isnt overlooked clown everyone knows hes there check for ancelloti picking his goat11 he picks modric over great players
@@Antonio_Serdar zidane was better than them all
@@decdonald2508
Zidane was the most talented, career wise Modric is the best, peak wise Iniesta/Xavi.
They are all great.
@@Antonio_Serdar no doubt modric is great he’s amazing but peak for peak and a career I have xavi/ Andres higher my personal favourite player not named Messi was baggio fck me was he good lol 😂
All that respect in the interview but just a few days ago Rio disrespected Modric by saying he robbed Ronaldo of the Ballon d'Or in 2018. What a snake.
Love the legend on and off the field definitely one of the best if not the best
Modric!!! This guy hasn't aged career wise. Still good in his late 30s.
Whatever he has said about ronaldo he himself is like that. Luka never settled for less. He wants more. When he won ucl he was already thinking about next ucl trophy. That's what we called wining mentality. And see where he is now, still leading the best team to it's glory.
He is the best example.
So unreal 👑
What a player !!
Luka Modric is ageing like a fine wine on the pitch🔥🔥🔥
Best midfielder ever period.. the things he does with or without the best around him..
Stop

The only guy I wanted after Paul Scholes retired at united..
Would have been the perfect replacement for Scholes
@Liam D absolutely perfect
DROP THE FULL INTERVIEW ALREADY
I love this man so much I wish he never retired 😢
The way Ronaldinho was respected at the Bernabeu by Madrid fans, Modric imo would be that player for Barca fans. You can't hate this guy loool. Excluding his club success(let's be honest Real Madrid with or without Modric is one of the biggest clubs ever), what he did for his national team two world cups in a row is a testament to the kind of leader he is. Tho he didn't win those tournaments, he paved the way for countries with less storied football legacies like Croatia and Morocco to challenge the hegemony of historically bigger teams like France, Argentina, Brazil, etc. He is THE guy that broke Messi and CR7s chokehold on the Balon D'or. Nothing but respect.
F-kin Legend.
What a legend ❤️⚽️ thank you modric 🙏🏻
So nice to see the respect for Bale
He is often disrespected, he was a beast in the decisive UCL games for Real Madrid titles
Only Central Midfielder to have won the Ballon'dor since Ricardo Kaka 💯🔥🔥💯👑 Modric a Goat foreal.

As a Barca fan, Modric could fit right in with those pep Barca teams or any team in the world, no doubt. As a midfielder top 3 all time imo, with Zidane and Xavi, Modric is at least in the conversation. Raktic was a great player for Barca and Croatia

Rakitic is so underrated and Bale is overhated
Legendario luka❤
Luka Modric the most gracious, humble, hardworking and technical player. best midfielder of all time and all generations
talks bout ronaldos work ethic, but probably people ignoring that modrics work ethic is even harder with no disrespect to christiano, modric was small and thin and a kid from the war, his grandfather killed in the war, got rejected in dinamo zagreb first because of his physique - look at him now
Spot on. 👍
He really started everything from scratch. He had to fight from the start. He is still at top. won wc bronze medal, ucl. His longevity is insane, considering he is a midfielder, the position which requires most agility and demanding. It's all thanks to his crazy work ethics, determination and resilience.
Clearly He deserves more appropriation than he's getting.
@@PP-uk7of saw him live training. he and gvardiol were the only ones with private coaches and extremely long warm ups with bands, while others already started training . they were both also the last to leave trainning. for me one of the best, if not the best midfielders. his outside of the foot shot is definetely one of the most magical in football history
I'm a Messi fan but I respect Luka Modric so much. One of my favourite midfielders though he always played with the opposition team that I supported. Great leader and his work ethics is incredible as well.
Modric: "When you think with no remorse" (Bale)I love that he says this because its true he is a Real Madrid legend 🙏🙏🙌🙌🤍🤍🤍

El mejor ! Te amo Luka Modrić 🎩
One of the best to ever do it, in the levels of iniesta, pirlo, gerrard etc.
Lukita our magician🎩💫❤️
Won 5 UCL´s, World Cup player of the tournament, 2 World Cup Semi´s captaining Croatia, won a Ballon D´or in prime Messi / prime Ronaldo era. These facts holds no room for any debate for him being in the top 5 best midfielders of all time.
What prime Messi- CR overrated era. Agree Luka is top 5 after 2000,, but it was so hard in 90s and 80s.
I'd love to see if you could get Iniesta?
Feels like I've never heard the man speak and he defined an era of football domination with Spain and Barca.
Ronaldinho, Figo or Roberto Carlos would be amazing down the line too.
I believe Xavi would be a better option. Andrés probably doesn't speak English well.
@@diptodeepmajumder9746 If Iniesta really can't speak English, it could be done with a translator and subtitles.
@Adam T yeah it could, but that would be a bit cumbersome. But I am open to the idea.

Genius player!
There's no replacements for these type of players, all credit to all of these players that have played to later years. The quality is unparalleled. The 5 players mentioned there's no replacement for those players. Generational ballers.
Modric, benzene, rakatic, bale ramos, cr7. We've been blessed. When these types of players hang the boots, the Zlatans, Messis..football will be left with a huge hole. I don't see the same hunger or talent these days spread. Mbappe, maybe Bellingham, Valverde potentially. Relatively speaking it's not the same.
Modric one of my favourite midfield players In the game ever. What a player.
The iniestas, Xavi, Scholes, Fabregas, Modric is in that conversation. Certified
Love how he struggles to speak English fluently but still did his best and when it came down to mention the fifth player he said Rakitić in Croatian 😂❤❤❤ to “take a break” for at least those 2 seconds 🥲
Top 3 midfielders of all time. Anything else and u don’t know ball
Tbh he is the best midfielder ever, you cannot find any of the greats did what he did and lasted this long.
As the best midfielder definitely him, but the best player in a midfielder position is Zidan no question about that.
I hope you get what i mean.😂
Definitely not top 3
@@princemukadi9446 Definitely in the top 3
For me he can do EVERYTHING with the ball all the other greats can..but he is better without the ball in defensive workrate, pressing, scoring from outside the box than anyone else. Also his mentality 🔥🔥🔥
And not 3
Would love to see Zlatan or Cantona choose their 5 aside
I've been waiting for this for so long
Love modric legend
Absolute class. One of the few Real Madrid players even Barcelona fans can't hate.
P.S.
Casemiro not in his 5 a side!?
Casemiro and Benzema almost made it, he chose Rakitic for National team.
Rakitic was great player its hard to choose only 5 he could go with Benzema Marcelo Kovacic also
He said he needs 7 because he wants to add Benz and Case
