Perhaps the most underrated midfielder in the world, the Croatian is a treat to watch whenever he plays for club and country. When Real Madrid signed him from Spurs, there was a lot of speculation of a transfer disaster and all, but Modric silenced all his critics and had already won four UEFA Champions League crown with the Madrid giants.

But that's not all from the Croatian genius. In the recently concluded World Cup, he was the best player of the tournament and helped his country reach their first World Cup final. The 33-year-old is adept at carrying the ball forward and driving into space and is an influential figure in the midfield. After a magnificent 2018, he fully deserves the top spot in this list of top 5 attacking midfielders in the world.

About the author

A sports enthusiast and an avid follower of football.

Since childhood I was encouraged to play cricket and in no time it became a hobby. Gradually I found interest in other sports also.

Football is in my blood and I love the electrifying ambiance that surrounds it. I often watch the pre and post match analysis of a match and try to learn how to analyze a football game.

The thing that intrigues me the most is that there are so many things happening behind the scenes that are oblivious to our naked eyes. The technological advancements that has been made are phenomenal.

I like analyzing a game from a statistical point of view. Being a data guy myself , I am firm believer of providing insights through facts and data. Though a game is always unpredictable , analyzing it from different dimensions can provide some very interesting conclusions.
