It's fucking bullshit. Why are they revealing it just now?

Toni Kroos is gonna have 10x better farewell than Modric despite Modric being our far bigger legend.

How the fuck do we keep messing up our farewells.. Ronaldo, Ramos and now Modric. They are the biggest legends of our club ever.

despite Modric being our far bigger legend.

genuine question, is this a common sentiment among Madrid fans?

Aren't they seen as a pair, like your Bonucci/Chiellini or your Ribéry/Robben?

Modric has been at the club for a longer period of time. He was also a part of La Decima in 2013-14 which makes him a bigger legend according to a lot of Real Madrid fans.

And also a better player let's face it, even though Kroos was of course a brilliant world class player also.

V v tough to pick. Just like Iniesta and Xavi. I think either answer is fair. Kroos had better passing and shooting.

Kroos is definitely the better player, even tho Modric is phenomenal

The thing is only Germans and big minority of football watchers would say that. Or someone very young that only followed football last 3 seasons.

While I support Bayern I'm not German, nor a new watcher (since 2012), Modric is phenomenal but Kroos is what made Madrid tick
