Toni Kroos
Such is Toni Kroos’ ability that, outside of one season on loan, he’s only ever played for two of the biggest clubs in the world – Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. He won three consecutive Champions Leagues between 2015 and 2018 and he’s been a major player for the German National Team, appearing in all their tournaments since 2010. He’s disciplined but creative, dictates play but possess quick reactions – and he can hit them, too. This isn’t just one of Germany’s greatest midfielders, this is one of the world’s best.
