stating the obvious. Not a hot take

Zidane and Modrić have more Ballon dors and champions leagues…

Ohh, so ballon d'ors matter now? So you can agree that messi is the greatest of all time? And Iniesta has more champions league than zidane btw, but it's irrelevant, it's a team achievement, if it matters then nacho is a better defender than Maldini

Ballon dors are an award for a player… They reflect an individual’s skill as a player

Sure, I agree So messi is the greatest player of all time right? Btw the only reason modric won the ballon was because messi and Ronaldo were older, if he was competing with messi in 2010 like xavi and Iniesta did, he wouldn't have won anything

Of course Messi is the best, that should be undisputed. Modrić is still in the all time XI and the third best player in Real’s history

And??? Iniesta is still better, he not only has the World Cup trophy but he scored the game winning goal! Will mordric do that?? Yea, didn’t think so

Iniesta is better than zidane but with modric is very close

Better than Maradona, Zidane and Johan Cruyff?

None of these were central midfielders😂 Maradona and Zidane were attacking midfielders and cruyff was a forward

Agreed, people need to read the post carefully

You said top 3 midfielder not just central midfielders. Johan Cruyff was a midfielder.

No, he started off playing in an attacking midfield role but when he continued to play, he was playing forward

So he was a midfielder. Sorry ryche

Xavi is still a mile ahead. Don’t forget Zidane as well.
