Central Midfield: Toni Kroos (Real Madrid)
Toni Kroos is probably the best passer in the world at this moment. Whether it's the long diagonal ball, the short and secure pass, or the key pass that unhinges an entire defence within the blink of an eye, Kroos can play it and, more importantly, he does.
Trending
The German's decision-making is impeccable and his insanely high passing accuracy just underline this fact. From his 76.3 passes per game, 92.9% hit their mark in La Liga. A stat only bettered by his backup Mateo Kovacic, who has played way fewer games than him.
Boasting a whoscored.com average rating of 7.46, he is the second highest rated midfielder behind his teammate Casemiro. However, in comparison to his teammate, Kroos' skill set is much more balanced than the Brazilian's.
Kroos belongs to a breed of players that anybody wants on their team; he's humble, consistent and puts the team above himself. He is a true commander at the heart of the team who doesn't like taking uncalculated risks.
When asked on whether he would rather have perfect passing or perfect shooting, he replied: "I would go for passing because even in our team it's more important that I pass good, because we have more players that shoot good."
The German is the perfect link between the defensive fighter Casemiro and the free-flowing Luka Modric, making him the perfect fit for Zinedine Zidane's side, despite several rumours about his future at the club.
Kroos is a player who would make it into any team in Europe with ease and another outstanding season despite Real Madrid's poor campaign has proven just how good he is. Therefore he is a no-brainer in our European Team of the Season.
Honourable Mention: David Silva (Manchester City)
The Spaniard has been magnificent for the Cityzens this season, contributing 9 goals and 11 assists to the Premier League's best attack. However, Kroos' passing game is on a whole other level, despite Silva proving that he's still world-class.
