#4 Toni Kroos
In fourth place is one of the most complete central midfielders in world football. The German and Real Madrid maestro Toni Kroos has one of the best minds in football. Barcelona legend Xavi hailed Kroos as his successor since his position allows him to dictate play from anywhere on the pitch.
Kroos has brilliant passing accuracy as well as the ability to read the potential of sequential moves in a game. He is an excellent conductor, as well as an incredibly versatile player. Kroos has excellent set-piece ability. But, his skills were not exercised due to playing alongside Cristiano Ronaldo.
Not only is Toni Kroos a FIFA World Cup winner with Germany, but he is a four-time Champions League winner. Kroos has been vital to Real Madrid’s European success in the past few years.
