For longevity, ability and achievements alone the midfield has to to Xavi, Iniesta, and Modric. Can't leave any of them out. And no other midfielders get close. They were all top 5 Midfielders ever for over a 10 year period which is so rare.

i think when you make these teams you have to think of balance. on paper a midfield of zidane iniesta and modric is great but in the real world it wouldnt work you need to have a holding midfielder
Henry scored only 35 goals in 3 seasons for Barça, after 2006 his performances dropped down, he was being benched by Pep so many times, I get the nostalgia feeling with him and being so good in the prem, but after the Prem he was not that good.

Arguably along with CR7 is the player who has achieved the most with their available talent.

Busquets gets exposed all the time because he’s slow as fuck. 8-2 Bayern. 7-0 Bayern busquets was the reason Barca were so shite.
Casemiro is a better overall DM
Bad lad Sergio B... 2 euros. World cup. 3 champions league and then league titles and cups on top of that... I'm not saying he should definitely being in there but I totally respect his decision
I agree, a DM is completely different to an 8
How close are kdb and Rodri to this team
The fact that Ronaldinho wasn’t mentioned frustrates me
If we pick the best individuals just have 11 of the best box to box midfielders
I’d of had Buffon alves Ramos Pujol Marcelo Xavi Iniesta Ronaldinho Messi Suarez Ronaldo and I’m shocked no one even mentioned pujol or Ronaldinho, pujol and ramos were both 2 of the best defenders in the world for 4,5 years or even pique
Between 2008-2014 for pique and pujol with ramos Spain won everything Thiago silva for 4 or 5 years aswell was immense and still class to this day he could’ve gotten a mention but wouldn’t make it unfortunately
Tom and Lewis are seriously genuinely outrageously clueless
should do a team of the 21st century excluding the players on the list
Should''ve done - Team of the 21st century WITHOUT players on the official list... And I'd have done this:
Neuer
Lahm, Pique, Boateng, Evra
Pirlo, Kroos, Modric
Henry, Ronaldinho, David Villa
Christ Tom is a bit of a drama queen isn’t he
gotta question if Tom watched the 06 world cup zidane was absolutely humiliating the best players in the world all tournament long, not mad at him not making it because he his best years were in the 90s but to say he wasn't good in the 06 world cup is lunacy
Zidane = 10 xavis
Modric being in the midfield over Xavi is a disgrace
busquets shout is vaild!
Lets be honest, suarez will be looked at as a better player
The point of pick the individual not chemistry is bonkers. Why not just have a team of forwards then cause you don’t have to think about how it would play?
Anyone who has busquets in an all time XI doesn’t understand ball. An absolute liability if his team doesn’t have the ball
Casillas
D Alves
Ramos
Puyol
Marcelo
Iniesta
Busquets
Xavi
Messi
Suarez
C Ronaldo
My team

St Luis Suarez

Alves van dijk Cannavaro Cole
Modric xavi Kaká
Messi C. Ronaldo Ronaldinho
by theos and lewis logic we might as well pick 10 forwards and 1 gk since its the best 11 players instead of best team lmao
Theo just fundamentally doesn't understand words. No way is R9 in a 21st century list.
Hilarious when they all scoff at tom, then will say ooo fanboys will defend you!! Have they ever thought they are completely clueless
How is John Terry not in anyones list? If you are going to put Van Dijk or Nesta, you have to put the best prem centerback of all time
Best XI since 2000
Neuer
Alves Pique Ramos Marcelo
Casemiro
Xavi Iniesta
Zidane
Messi C.Ronaldo
Henry had left by time Villa and Ibrahimovic were in the team
Villa yes. But he played a season with Zlatan 09-10.
@@WILDEBEAST17 you're right, my bad.
Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez/Messi, Neymar, Suarez
People are quick to dismiss RRT, Honestly they are not far apart at all, I'd also take Terry/Rio over Van dijk

Busquets is the greatest DM of all time and a pivotal part of the greatest team and midfield of all time yet he gets this disrespected. Modric, Zidane and Busquets are all fair picks for the final midfield spot
no way i picked the same exact team as garrett. game respects game
442
Neuer
Alves
VVD
Ramos
Marcelo
Iniesta
Xavi
Modric
Messi
Thierry Henry
CR7
im convinced theo doesnt comprehend the english language
Literally.
Tom and Reev are absolutely clueless about Zidane. What they said couldn‘t be further way from the truth
Busquets gets so underrated by people that genuinely don’t understand football
Hes the Spanish Michael carrick. Yes he’s quality but he’s not the best ever
Casillas Dani Alves Ramos Nesta Maldini Busquets Xavi Zidane Ronaldo Messi Henry
433
Wasn't sure about Maldini as his peak years in the 90s?
Why do people explain their reasoning to Theo and he just completey ignores it, takes it personally and then the others have to explain themselves 5 more times and he still doesn't get it
The disrespect towards Zidane is a joke. You blokes have NFI
If I had a penny everytime I saw “heated” in the title I’d have at least a fiver
. Buffon
Thuram Nesta Maldini Cole
Iniesta Pirlo
Messi Ronaldinho Neymar
Henry
Tom saying theo can't have R9 because he is pre 2000 but then picks nesta lol
Forgot Paul Scholes was a snooker player….
The disrespect of Busquets is an absolute joke. The best DM of the 21st century
Busquets gets exposed all the time because he’s slow as fuck. 8-2 Bayern. 7-0 Bayern busquets was the reason Barca were so shite.
Casemiro is a better overall DM
