The Real Madrid maestro is a very effective manipulator of the ball
Even the best players keep getting better - that is the case with Real Madrid superstar Luka Modric at the moment. The Croatian has been one of the finest playmakers in Europe for the past few years, but following his incredible exploits at both club and international levels this year, the 33-year-old has taken his game even to a greater height.

Modric reminded us of his incredible abilities in the FIFA World Cup this year, carrying the burden of an under-dog nation on his shoulder and producing a lot of scintillating performances that pushed the Croats to their first ever World Cup final in Russia as well as defining his pure class and amazing talent throughout the tournament.
The UEFA Player Of The Year award winner is without doubts, one of the most impressive playmakers on the European soil at the moment, with his incredible passing, decent vision, immense creativity and his ability to dictate play from any region of the pitch placing him in a class above many others.
