Modric? Isn't he still there?
The biggest variable to have been removed from this abject Real team is Ronaldo. All the rest are still there.
Zidane left as well, should I give all the credit to Zidane then? without Zidane Real would not win 3 back to back? because as soon as he left , Real got knocked out?
And where did Ronaldo go? Juventus? what happened to them? Why did he not win CL in Juvethus without Modric?
Just to be clear, I am using Modric to prove a point, I dont believe Real won 4 CL because of Modric, Nor do I believe they won because of Ramos, Navas, Kroos, or even Zidane ... Real had a TEAM, it needed EVERY SINGLE player to create that team and once that team was broken, none of its team members had success.
Ronaldo is really not a player who can carry an entire team by himself, nor is Messi really (outside Barca), not many players in the past really can, the 2 that come to my mind are Maradona and Zidane that really carried the entire team on their shoulder and they dont come every year !!!
