Top 5 best midfield duos of the last decade 

5. Fabinho & Jordan Henderson (Liverpool) 

The Liverpool captain has been a vital piece of the puzzle for Jurgen Klopp and his men.

The duo of Kimmich and Goretzka perfectly complements each other. While Kimmich plays as an exceptional passer and is responsible for creating chances, Goretzka is the more physical of the two. His role as a box-to-box midfielder helps him join the attack and protect the backline as well. 

3. Kevin De Bruyne & David Silva (Manchester City) 

The two midfield icons played together as 8s and excelled under Pep Guardiola. They won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and four League Cups together at Manchester City. 

2. Xavi & Andres Iniesta (Barcelona) 

The midfield duo of Xavi and Iniesta will go down as one of the greatest in the history of the sport. They started together from La Masia and went on to win everything there is to win playing for club and country.
