Both of them have had outstanding performances during their careers, but I was wondering what other people think
A lot of variables in this. Different role, different type of midfielder and played in different leagues against different types of opponents
Tough one. First of all, I disagree with anyone saying “one is much better than the other one”, “oh this is not even close”.
I don’t think either of them are clear choices here and I wouldn’t contest anyone’s choices here.
I personally regard both of these players very highly as well. But I think I’d go with De Bruyne. His passing ability is just unreal, he really makes life a lot easier for his teammates. He’s like Beckham with Iniesta’s vision.
Modric has quite a few advantages over KDB as well though. Modric is a much better leader, more natural on the ball, has better defensive contribution with his positioning and more active playstyle. That’s why it’s tough; but I’m still giving KDB a slight edge.
I’d rather modric, he can control and dictate play,knows when to speed the game up and slow it down. debruyne is more attacking, creating and scoring
Modric has longevity, did it for club and country, has won more titles, and is more versatile
Easily Modric, not even close.
Modric without a doubt
I like kdb more
Modric. Modric always showed up in big games. KDB is a stat pad merchant
That assist v Chelsea is more meaningful and beautiful than anything KDB ever did
1st leg goal against madrid to bring city back?
Has to be Modric, fundamental part of a 3 peat champions league team and also carried his country to world cup final. KDB in the other hand has a scary record in big matches
KDB is a lot more attack minded however I feel Modric was the better player
Modric is B2B while KDB is CAM.
Modric won the golden ball for a reason
