#4 Toni Kroos
If one makes a list of the best midfielders in the world, then the German's name will be on it. The former Bayern Munich man is one of the best deep-lying playmakers in the game and sets the tempo of the system with his fluent passing.
Indeed, his influence helps the flow of the game for Real Madrid. It was his crisp passing in the middle that helped Real to not only win games, but also dominate them.
However, so far this season, he has been a shadow of his former self. The German looks out of ideas and almost always passes the ball to the flanks. Indeed, it is very difficult to point out the last time he made a defence-piercing ball to the forwards. The way the Galacticos play depends on how the German performs.
And he has not been performing well this season.
