First of all, it is quite obvious that some people don't understand football. They observe player's so called "dominance" through possession of the ball, or number of passes, total assists etc. and in reality these parameters are not something that is the choice/decision or the result of the...

Modric's goal and assist statistics, which people often quote on social networks (usually with the aim of devaluing him) do not include the first 3 seasons (and part of the 4th season) of his club football and also leave out his entire Croatian national team career. Therefore, Modric's 122...

First of all, the stories about Modric becoming a great player only later in his career are pure historical revisionism and ignorance. Modric won the award for the best Croatian player for the first time in 2007 (still playing for Dinamo Zagreb) and he was already the leader of the Croatian...

A list of foreign players with the most matches played for Real Madrid. Gareth Bale is in 16th place: 600+ games 1. Karim Benzema - 605 games 500+ games 2. Marcelo - 546 3. Roberto Carlos - 527 400+ games 4. Cristiano Ronaldo - 438 5. Luka Modric - 436 300+ games 6. Alfredo Di Stefano -...

Exactly. Every player needs time to adjust to a new environment; especially when he is in a foreign country, does not know the language, the issue of trust from teammates etc. Also it should be taken into account that Modric lives a quiet family life, comes from a small country, he was not...

During 3-in-a-row Champions League titles seasons (15/16, 16/17, and 17/18) Real Madrid and Barcelona played 8 times, 6 times in La Liga and 2 times in Supercopa. Season 15/16 Real Madrid (manager was Rafael Benítez) - Barcelona 0:4 Barcelona - Real Madrid (manager was Zinédine Zidane) 1:2...

:rolleyes: Since FIFA Club World Cup in December Modric plays great. His return to form has been apostrophized by Spanish media as one of the main reasons why Real played well in recent weeks.

Peter Schmeichel is the best goalkeeper I have seen play the game (I watch football since the mid 80s). He oozed charisma. The best ever!

From 2010-13 IMO Xavi, Iniesta, Xabi, Pirlo. Sneijder in 2010 for sure and from 2011-2013 Yaya Toure, Ozil. Just for the record in 2014 CL SF Real humiliated Bayern in Munich 0:4. In that game Modric was everywhere, tremendous both on and off the ball and he was against Schweinsteiger and Kroos...

Luka Modric won the 2018 Ballon d'Or and because of that, at the moment, many Ronaldo fans will undermine Modric's skills and achievements therefore I am pretty sure that this survey does not represent the real opinion of football fans. Of course some people really think Schweinsteiger was a...
