I think the creativity part is what sets Modric way apart from the young talent Real has. I see a lot of convos around the transition and the young core possibly being better in the future than Modric and Kroos, but forget that Kroos and Modric were offensive players with great vision, which doesn’t come like that most of the time when you are 20+ years old already, at that stage you are a creative or you ain’t and imo none of the young guys have that factor besides maybe Arda Guler. They might be world class b2b in the future, but what makes someone one top 10 usually is the creativity aspect.
