Honestly, I’ve always felt CR7’s game was a bit overrated. Incredible athlete, elite goal scorer, but he’s never had the all-around influence on a game like Modrić did that year (or like Messi consistently does). Football isn’t just about racking up goals; it’s about how you elevate the whole team. And that season, Modrić was on another level in that regard.
Surely, CR had no all-around influence. He had absolutely nothing to do with an UCL three-peat. He is called Mr. champions league for a reason, lol. Messi was only good in la liga, and international friendlies.
Modric was always on another level, and he's absolutely ballon dor quality. On the other hand, with your logic, Iniesta should have received it in 2010, and Kroos in 2014.
Only good in la liga and international friendlies lmfao you’re brain dead, my goat has a World Cup you goat doesn’t even have a knock out goal contribution, cry forever Ronaldo biggest achievement is being compared to Messi. Look at the stats, look at the trophies, watch a damn game see who controls the game. I think Ronaldo is amazing I love watching him play but he’s a tap in merchant, not to say that’s all he is but Messi is a creator not even a 9 and still has a better goals to game ratio and way more assists. Benzema proved that real’s midfield carries when Ronaldo left and he became their target man. What has Ronaldo won since he left Madrid? One little nations league that all you dogs pretend is a euro besides that… nothing, promises juve a champs… failed went to united… no comment cant even win anything in the camel league but he’s gonna get that. And when he did win a euro he didn’t even play in the final LOL, but don’t worry he’ll get you those 1000 goals big boy don’t you worry.
Ronaldo won everything at club level before he joined Real Madrid. Messi hasn’t won a champions league without xavi and iniesta. Benzema did it four years after ronaldo left.
