The Englishman is said to be the greatest midfielder ever to grace the Premiere league. Although the English league has been played by great midfielders such as Frank Lampard, Roy Keane and Steven Gerrard, Paul Scholes still manages to stand head and shoulders above the rest.

The midfielder's technicality, vision, pin point passing and ability to score long range goals is what differentiated him from the rest. The ginger genius was among the few who could pull a string and dictate the flow of the game from the center of the field.

He is the most decorated English footballer of all time as his trophy cabinet is shelved with 25 major trophies including 11 Premiere league titles and 3 Champions league.

#7 Centre Midfielder - Luka Modric

The 33-year-old is hailed as the best midfielder on the planet. Luka Modric became the only player to break Messi-Ronaldo's ten-year dominance over the Ballon d'Or by winning it in 2018.

Modric has expertise in reading games, his vision, pin-point passing accuracy and ability to prompt teammates on the forefront gives a tough time to opponents.

The Croatian is the beating heart of Los Blancos who won three consecutive Champions League with the help of the midfielder. Luka also played a crucial role in World Cup 2018 where he dragged an underdog Croatia to the final.
