There have been great through ball passers in the last 20 years. Which one do you think is the best?
Some examples: Zinedine Zidane, Rui Costa, Andrea Pirlo, Andres Iniesta, Guti, Lionel Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Mesut Ozil, Kevin de Bruyne.
Scholes?
Seemed like the playmakers playmaker.
All those on the list are good shouts except Messi he’s toward the bottom of the list. Maybe last.

Juan Roman Riquelme
Kaka deserves to be in the conversation if only for the sumptuous through ball to Crespo is the Champions League final v Liverpool.
Iniesta or de Bruyne.
how tf did you forget Xavi?
Kroos
Kevin De Bruyne has had the most passes that had my jaw on the floor, but the answer is probably Messi like with most other things.
De Bruyne, no question
If we ignore Messi, then it is definitely Xavi. There’s a pass to Alves back in 2010 or 2011, against a low block that absolutely tore the defense into two. The funny thing is it didn’t count as an assist for him because Alves squared it to Messi for a tap in
Tony Kroos. Bro went 1800 mins in one season with 100% pass accuracy. If that’s not best then I don’t know what is🙌🏻
Riquelme
De bruyne is the best passer of the ball I have ever seen. There are loads of others but he really stands out for me
come here to say that I love Guti’s through pass
