Wait... no way he forgot pirlo this dude is in my top 5

[karlomaric]

1. Modric…the man took a small country like Croatia to the final of the world championship. won everything there is to win with Real Madrid many times. won the golden ball in the era of lm10 and cr7 and still plays like he's 20 years old.

How on earth could you miss Zico, ?, world class he was.
Yes furious indeed, Zico one of the All time greats, was a gifted midfielder of another level. Even in todays game he would have stood out as the best. Shocking and unbelievable you missed out Zico, who should have been in the top 4.

[caesars.]

In terms of ability. Mathaus had it all just watch his highlights. Speed, vision, shooting, defense, work rate. He’s a complete player right up there with goats like Messi and Pele. Maradona said he was his greatest opponent. 💯

I can't believe some people don't have Modric in at least top 5

But for me its: 1. Zidane
2. Iniesta
3. Modric
4. Xavi
5. Pirlo

[kasongomutemwa]

Iniesta is the best midfielder of all times, zero doubt about it

[mokylianfatty]

I think Paul Scholes of Manchester united should be included here.. he was a central midfielder who made Manchester united thick he was the brain of Manchester he won 11 premier leagues and as a central midfielder he score more than 165 goals who don't take penalties.. his long passes and controlling the tempor of a game was superb if u don't know him check on him.. if I where u I will include him there he deserves it for sure.. he won 2 champions league.

"**The list is an approximate example; there are forgotten players. Make your list."

[filippocatani]

What sort of limited list is this??? Where is Andrea Pirlo? Where are Platini, Neeskens, Rivera, Socrates, Tardelli, Seedorf, Czibor, Valderrama, Falcao, Ancelotti, Hagi, Masopust, Overath, Rivelino, Gerson? And so on. Very biased toward Premier League players I'd say... 😂

[zimbolimbo]

Xavi and Iniesta never won the Ballon Do'or, because they were humble enough to pass it to Messi.

[rossmcevitt]

Zidane for me had some first touch and his vision was as good as maradona and messi great football brain

[EngineeringLife]

Great list. Gonna have to put iniesta at #1. Won his team the World Cup, best vision and dribbling. Although Zizou had a better shot and 1 touch. Both are great regardless

[abugarcia]

between xavi and iniesta..there was the Legendary..most underrated/the best midfilder of all time... the Argentine JRR...even zidane waiting him in tunnel to get his jersey..and messi also use his trademark..cupping his ears when celebrated goal..to remind Holland coach in WC quater final..for what he did to Riquelme in Barcelona

[sonikUk]

In addition to being the best midfielder of all time, Zidane is also one of the best players in the history of football. His level was monstrous, he is part of the very closed circle of unbeatable football legends. 🇫🇷

[elnikaco]

gr8 list but u forgot michael laudrup, and its not just cos hes danish like me, hes peers all praised him a lot! (guardiola, iniesta, raul gonzalez aso!)

[josephmwesigye]

Such a big shame not to include Andreas Pirlo
Sederoff
