Talking about passing and taking in heed the Barcelona style of play, Ivan Rakitic lags behind in successful passing percentage in comparison with his counter-part at Real Madrid however, with a very small margin. While Rakitic has a passing accuracy of 90% with 57% of those being in the forward direction, Kroos has an astonishingly higher passing percentage as 92% of his passes are met by his team mates with more than 75% of them being in the forward direction. But if you keep in mind style of Real Madrid and compare it with that of Barcelona there should be nothing to hold Real Madrid players from passing more aggressively.
