He managed so many legendary players and Modric only for two seasons. And he picked him as his one of the best midfielders. Modric's class can only be acknowledged by the greats.

Ancelotti picking Modric immediately and Rio's reaction 'Ooohh' just describes Modric perfectly

[tusharpsn]

I was kinda pissed when Ferdinand skipped modric, but then my respect for Ancelotti increased even more.Modric is massively underappreciated because he doesnt score goals.

[lacas]

That "Ooohhh" on Modrić tells me everything

[obieenemchukwu]

I’ve been a Madrid fan for about 20yrs now and have seen great midfielders play for the club but honestly none can be compared to Modric. Ancelotti missed out on the Spanish title and getting a treble in his first season when he lost Modric to injury. Dude is world class

[ishan_chowdhury]

Kaka and pirlo are probably his favourite players

[Luis-nrvz]

Kaká playing for Milan was simply an unstoppable beast.

‘This is before Everton by the way’, what so doucoure would be in contention 😂

[neutralzagreb]

Modric plays football on some almost "unreachable" level.He has something in him that nobody on the whole planet has.And thats made him one of the greatest football players ever, without any doubt now.

1:23 The "Ooohh" moment the video. Carlo truly knows the best. So "Aaahhh" comes after. Luka Magic

[derekd.]

So glad modric made it. My favourite midfielder absolute class

[kylekatayama]

Watching this just reminds me how scary his AC Milan teams were. So much class

[manisamdani]

Ancelotti is a true footballing genius, one of the greatest managers of all time. And Rio should watch more la liga and Real Madrid so he doesn't miss out on another footballing genius in the great Luka Modric.

When he said Modric i teared up a bit. I wanted to hear it but when he said it i was shocked. Did not expect that. My GOAT.

[MR-fiki]

I am a Chelsea fan and if I had to choose a player from that list, Modric will be my first choice. He's the most perfect midfielder I've ever seen, there's no flaw in his game. Even at 36, he never ceases to amaze me. He's surely the greatest of all time for me.

[callumoconnor]

Modric is still underrated unbelievable

[lawmaker]

Carlo knows how valuable Modric is..He knows without him he won nothing with Real Madrid, and with him in team he won La Decima

[morroc]

I'm a Brazilian and my first choice will be Luka Modric, I don't care about anyone but this guy he's just OUT OF THIS WORLD!

[rabikafle]

One thing people kind of forget about Modric is his defensive ability....
Guy helps in defence way way better than anyone could anticipate....
Footballing Genius

[khush]

I watch Modric's matches these days, and I am just amazed by his ability to think so quick and never lose the ball. Man's just phenomenal, I have barely seen him lose the ball, not to mention his unbelievable recovery rate even at this age !!!
