Those guys though, their game just kept on going and going and going. His fell off a cliff.
Which isnt what one normally expects of a playmaker.

Tough sell to say he is better than Modric.
Modric has 6 CL titles, a Balon D’or, and instrumental in taking Croatia to a world cup final amongst other very strong performances in international tournaments. He is the most decorated player in Real Madrid history. 184 caps for Croatia is just insane. There is an argument to be made that he is the best midfielder of the last 30-40 years. The man has had 2 primes.
De Bruyne is an all time great Premier league player but his resume lacks the achievements compared to Modric. Two very different midfielders tho, individually I can maybe see the argument that at their peaks De Bruyne was better. I’d still take Modric.
Best player of the last 15 years? Idk about that either. He is probably in my top 10 tho.
