Really surprised the Barcelona and Argentine talisman uttered such statement especially that Luka Modric considering he his a player of their Arch rival Real Madrid but it is all good to recognize great players doing really well across respective league.
I might not completely agree with all of his choices but I believe there is some qualities he picked from this selection. I believe it's their creative abilities in the final third going by the contributions of these players to their individual team.
They are all special players from Cristiano Ronaldo to Neymar yo Sado Mane, Luka Modric and Joshua kimmich. These players represent the key areas in their team and their absence in their team will really affect the club performance.
It indeed takes one to know one. Little wonder the Argentine is up there has he has an eye for talents. I wonder want he would do affect retirement. Been a club coach be a great option has he has that eye for details. Most creative players often tend to have great analysis of the team of football. I believe he thrive in that area if considers to venture into it later on.
