Toni Kroos has hung up his boots, and the football world now grapples with a pressing question: Where does he stand in the pantheon of midfield greats? As Real Madrid fans, we’re naturally inclined to crown him as the best ever in his position. But what do impartial scouts say?

How would an all-seeing football deity, privy to every match ever played, judge Kroos’s legacy?

In our latest podcast episode, we tackle this monumental task head-on. We’re joined by scout and technical football methodologist Kannan A. who brings a unique, expert perspective to dissect the careers of three midfield maestros: Toni Kroos, Xavi Hernández, and Andrea Pirlo.

This isn’t your typical surface-level, armchair analysis. We dive deep into the tactical and technical aspects of their games, employing rigorous methodology to evaluate their contributions. Our goal is to differentiate between their innate talents and their tangible impact on the pitch. We meticulously compare their peaks, overall careers, and ultimately, their places in football history.
