Last night I was fortunate enough to be at Celtic Park and had the pleasure of watching modric in the flesh for the 1st time.
1st things 1st, I couldnt believe how small and slender he is. He genuinely looked like a mascot stood next to the other players. Yet this guy whos built like the side of a fiver has been running the show for what 15 years now. Ive been fortunate to have seen some quality players live in my time but he is right up there. He literally strolled through that last night and just seemed 4 or 5 moves ahead of everyone else on the pitch.
To put in a performance like he did last night is 1 thing but to do it at 37 years old is ridiculous. Honestly never seen someone make the game look so effortless. On the evidence of what I witnessed last night its fitting that hes the one that split the messi/ronaldo duopoly on the ballon dor.
Modric

the difference between a player who knows where to be before he needs to run to get there and a oh i dunno henderson at no 6 is huge.
modric like pirlo has this in spades. it takes out any sort of struggle to run after players etc

Modric is still absolute quality.

It was a pleasure to watch him play for Tottenham and I still enjoy watching him for Real and Croatia.

We do have someone like him but availability is his issue.

Greatest midfielder ever. I will shed many tears when he retires and football itself will become a little less meaningful. I the meantime I am loving every second when he plays. It’s hard to believe he is still playing this well at 37. Peerless player and a top class pro and geezer

Like geroghe hagi
Maybe moves ten yards all game but his range of passing is unreal
