Dubbed 'the sniper' by his fans, Toni Kroos is known for his pin-point accuracy with his passing. The German midfielder has been pivotal in Real Madrid's success over the years, emphasizing his superiority as one of the main creators of the team.

Kroos is known for his enhanced passing range with impressive accuracy in almost every match. The midfield general dictates the tempo with his control over possession and has been a key member of Madrid's creative hub. Kroos initiates attacks, creates space and moves the ball effectively which makes him a world class playmaker.

The 31-year old's partnership with teammates Luka Modric and Casemiro helped the Spanish giants win three consecutive Champions League titles. Despite his age, Kroos is at the peak of his powers and remains one of the main playmakers for Real Madrid.

#2 Luka Modric

Another significant part of the world class trio, Luka Modric, has proven himself to be one of the best midfielders on the planet. Modric's exploits and mastery is well known as the Croatian genius who won the Ballon d'Or in 2018 breaking the duopoly of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

As a deep-lying playmaker, Modric is excellent at picking up the ball and creating space for his teammates. With effortless ease, Modric creates attacks and connects the Real Madrid attack with the rest of the team. The 36-year old has worked in perfect sync with Toni Kroos over the years, helping their team dominate Europe.

Considering his age, it is still a surprise how Modric is still the main driving force in Real Madrid's midfield. Without Modric, Los Blancos find it hard to deal with opponents and they are yet to find anyone like the Croatian magician.

#1 Karim Benzema

Karim Benzema has started the new campaign in explosive form and is currently one of the best players in the world. With ten goals and seven assists in just 10 matches, the French forward is the pulse of Real Madrid in the 2021-22 campaign.

Benzema has always been creatively fluent, as evident from his exploits during Cristiano Ronaldo's tenure in the Spanish capital. The French forward would often drift to the left flank to create space for Cristiano. He links up superbly with his teammates and helps create a goal in the process.

Since the departure of the Portuguese great, Benzema has taken matters into his own hands. The 33-year old is the sole driving force for Real Madrid, scoring and setting up goals at an unprecedented rate. He recently scored the all-important equalizing goal for France against Spain in the UEFA Nations League final.

It remains to be seen whether Benzema can carry his extraterrestrial form throughout the season but the forward is certainly getting better with age.
