Defenders and midfielders always get the rough end of the stick, as they don’t have the same stats to back them up.

Just look at Xavi. He was one of the greatest ever but gets criminally overlooked in these discussions as his role wasn’t really to get goals and assists.

Similar with Modric.

I like your argument more when you compare other forwards - in that case, Neymar has a good shout at being the 3rd best forward of his generation
