Special Mention: the 3,4,8 and 10 opinion
-
It’s obvious that Xavi is better than Iniesta.
-
Zidane, after that 2001 season kind of fell off with an Okay stint, carried more by Highlight reel moments, Modric and Kroos definitely has gone on more from strength to strepth
-
Eto’o was maybe the best player for Barcelona between 2006-09, (often the forgotten era of the Barca dynasty). He is among the best in the World around that time.
-
Carvalho was the necessary defensive general alongside Terry and being the worse of the two, he definitely got forgotten.
Speaking of forgotten, here’s my hot take.
As a midfielder (consisted DM, CM,AM) Michael Ballack has a top 5 peak in the 21st Century.
It’s either Baggio or Terry.
Take your pick.
