In eighth place on the list is another Real Madrid superstar who is one of the youngest players in our ranking. Isco is an attacking-midfielder whose playing style make him a brilliant dribbler. The Spaniard possesses the technical ability to play short passes and through balls.

Some of the greatest Spanish midfielders have come to the end of their careers in recent years. Yet, Isco marks the dawn of a new generation of technical midfielders. Attacking and playmaking are his chief interests. Isco not only has brilliant awareness but also the ability to instigate an attack out of any area in the final third.

Like Casemiro, Isco has won the Champions League four times and has won the FIFA Club World Cup three times. He has scored 47 goals and obtained 46 assists in 238 appearances in the La Liga.
