Former German national team player Sami Khedira named his top 5 best midfielders in football history.
In fifth place was Ronaldinho.
He was the first Barcelona player to receive a standing ovation at the Bernabeu.
Fourth place Franz Beckenbauer.
I only saw him play on video, but even after his career ended he continued to change football.
u Andres Iniesta third place.
I played against him several times and he never lost the ball. His passes, his dribbling? I’ve never seen anything like it before or since.
In second position Diego MaradonaKhedira noted his performances for Napoli and the Argentina national team.
At the top of the ranking Zinedine Zidane.
He was my idol. I watched every game he played for Real Madrid and also for France when he became world champion in 1998.
Zidane made football very simple. I tried to replicate him, but I was never as good as him.
