Luka Modric vs Man Utd - Cup Final '09

Paul Scholes always glazes Xavi and iniesta, meanwhile, he was getting bent over by a young luka modric in the exact same time period

He has it all : first touch, vision,technique, chance creation , ball carrying, dribbling , defending , power Best of all time midfielder

You have no idea how much joy these comps from those days bring, man. Love them sm! 🤍

Glad you like it

For those who weren’t watching football back then let’s just say this final should have ended a whole lot different, but a certain manager alongside some shocking refereeing helped united to a win🤧.

always loved him even at tottenham, his last season in the prem was something, so clean

I’ve been saying it modern football has fallen off. There wasn’t one sideways or backwards pass. Everyone was prepared to take risks and play forward.

Per 90 report for Modric at Tottenham

Best number 8 in history. Made in a lab

Top 3 Real Madrid signings of all time

Thank you Mourinho!

Remember reading Alex Ferguson autobiography and how he said he badly wanted him but untied didn’t want another negotiation like they had with berbatov. And remember Chelsea wanting him badly and levy selling him cheap to Madrid because he knew he would tear it up in the PL

Imagine if Spurs were ambitious and would’ve kept modric and bale

ive been hearing cats say Modric wasn't even good until 25-26 brother I am watching real football right now, best midfielder of all time

Look at this man! perfect pass, perfect touch, perfect decision-making. Known when to carry, when to hold and when to release the pass. @janufooty

Lucas Bergval is currently at this stage.

Modric is the better player - but let’s give context, this was 17 years ago. Paul Scholes retired 2 years after this game, Luka Modric still plays today. Their paths crossed but one was starting his journey the other was at the end.

Sleeves rolled up ... #LukaTheGreat 👑⚽️🇭🇷

Look at the state of Scholesy man @BoyPaccino he would not last in today’s game

Modric was just different gravy...

@DarrenBent up front, no wonder we didn't score.

Luka Modric is Messi without the goals. Period

There were definitely signs he'd dominate the midfield for the next decade 🔥🔥🔥

I was there that day and it is nice to be reminded of a such a special player, even if we did lose the game. Such a joy to watch.

just imagine say senior man no go Madrid, he would have been compared to some average players

Damn, he was soo good.

@adhithya35 We were the better team from memory. Pens killed us

@OOutOfTheMatrix @buojneo3286

@MlrPaul2001 @GreezyDon is it me or I’m wrong Enzo is the mixture of modric and lampard

he is a gem in our team back then🥲

@grok why didn't bale play in this game?

Before he controlled real Madrid for years 🙌

Gotta be up there when your talking the best CM of all time

@AC_MilanFR et dire que 17 ans plus tard c’est toujours l’un des meilleur joueur de série A actuel, la longévité de ce mec c une dinguerie😂

0:49, "away by WHOOOO?"
