    Like i have no idea what you are trying to get at here. Being able to see some basic through balls isn't quite at the level of Busquets sending bullets (on the ground btw) through 7 defenders and landing directly on messi's feet. And doing this like 20 times per match. Don't compare the Emperor to commoners lol. Modric in this regard is also ahead of KDB just in terms of creativity in finding passes.

    Video mainly for the pass where he piggybacked dier and played a perfect volley first touch pass

    Ridiculius to say Busquets is a better passer

    Actually laughing at your either bias or just stupidity

    I mean... picking Brazil to win the tournament wasn’t a bad choice. They played well throughout the tournament. Even today, they dominated the second half & probably should have scored a 2nd goal but couldn’t get it.

    Imagine linking a video like that then comparing him to Busquets, Iniesta or Luka Modric lol.
    Don't link a video where a player makes alot of horrible passes when comparing them to world class players lol.

    I don't really care. Ronaldo nowadays is mostly a set piece threat. Madrid still have Bale, and they'll probably buy Neymar, or Kane.

    Are you a Madrid fan?
    Cause as a barca fan i'd love for them to do exactly that. Makes our life easier.

    Matter of fact you can give us isco.

    Seriously, Imagine linking a video where he makes like one really good pass, then alot of okay passes, and quite a few awful passes against a team that's playing a high press then comparing him to Busquets, when Busquets is the reason people don't play a high press against us lol.


    Here's a Busquets masterclass vs Madrid with Ray hudson commentary.

    Lol @ thinking KDB plays a couple of good passes

    This is why barca fans have no credability.

    Cant argue with stupid people who dont even watch games

    Dude i was talking about the video you liked to me lol. It's nothing above average by "World Class" standards. I do watch Man City play and KDB is not as good as Busquets in the holding position, he's not as good a passer and he's not as intelligent. He might be a better player overall due to his dynamism but Busi has a certain class he doesn't . Which is why even f---ing KDB's coach says that Busi is the best deep lying playmaker in the world. But i'm sure it's pep's bias why he actually tried buying Busi from Barcelona.


    Here's the same video timestamped to a pass better than the one you showed me. (3:45 mark)

    Hazard has been the best player of the tournament so far imo. Only other player close is Kaine.

    Mbappe, Hazard, Kane at the moment look like my shortlist for Golden Ball...Modric & Rakitic depending what happens tomorrow

    @Xmipod was watching some vid's and found this gem (another one)
    here's a heelback pass on the volley through 2 players lol , Just casually done at the 3 min mark.

    Modric has been good. But kane has been the best IMO.

    I’d lose my s--- if rakitic won golden ball. Very unlikely though lol.
