What Makes KDB and Modric So Brilliant? | Thierry Henry Breakdown & Analysis | CBS Sports Golazo

[Applause] possibly the most exciting head-to-head on the pitch in this game tonight luka modric of real madrid against kevin de bruyne of manchester city terry we've watched a couple of these real madrid games now over the last couple of rounds in the champions league and it seems like you've really enjoyed watching luka modric in action do you think he's the central piece to this team for real madrid tonight he is i mean benzema usually gets the credit but this guy 36 running the show using his brain all the time here i don't know if you remember he took that ball out and and bro and brought it to the to the edge of the box and to steal up the awareness at that stage of the game at his age going deep in a lot of competition i don't know how he still saw that and this one is another one where he knew that benzema was there that's a different type of pass from the inside of his foot straight away not after control that we saw on the first one he knew that his striker was there and benzema officer finished it and then this one jamie i know you like this one but again head up straight away when he receives the ball head up straight away look where is my striker then he knows that he has the quality obviously to do this not a lot of people can do that but he turned straight away to see what his striker was and i think for me one thing that is very important that people do not mention all the time is your brain and this guy doesn't forget about it he knows that he has to use his brain and he does it more often than not another player who uses his brain really well like kevin de bruyne it's the funny one really because bernardo silva was a man of the first half of the silver book season but kevin de bruyne every time he plays he's the best player to pitch especially in this last three months this is against liverpool what i like about him he gets in the pockets there but it doesn't just stay there he's willing to to break the lines and once he breaks the lines it's his passing it's just exceptional sterling should have took this one away and he always finds some sort of space on the pitch this is the last minutes of the game 2-2 against liverpool this isn't a pass there for many midfield players but somehow he finds it and he finds it with paulie morris should have finished it and they would have got to win this when he can't find his space in the middle of the the pitch he goes to the right and just look at this for a absolutely delightful ball i mean the striker car miss i'm running him behind just to finish it off he's got that composure and he's got absolutely every game i mean he scored you know his last six champions league um games you know in the knockout stages he's scoring him he's a big game player [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
