Ultimate Yaya Toure Compilation Of Him 'Dominating The Midfield' Is Insane, He Was So Complete

Toure was a perfectly fine player during his time at Barcelona, where he won two La Liga titles and the Champions League in three seasons.

He then helped the club to a first league title for 44 years the following season.

In total Toure spent eight seasons at City, making 316 appearances and scoring 79 goals. He made the Premier League his playground and was always a man for the big occasions.

His highlights, which have garnered over 6 million views on Twitter, prove he was capable of doing absolutely everything on the pitch.

He could dictate a game from deep with a superb passing range but then he had the ability to maraud forward - a trademark feature of his game - with freakish power, pace and supreme dribbling.

Toure was so unbelievably gifted technically - with either foot - and some of the defence-splitting passes he was able to produce were just on another level.

But similarly, he scored a whole host of insane long-range efforts and was quite simply unplayable in his peak.

And there's no disputing that his absolute prime came in his ridiculous 2013/14 season.

In Manuel Pellegrini's first campaign, Toure, playing in a midfield two alongside Fernandinho, smashed in 20 Premier League goals and registered 9 assists in 35 outings.

Producing arguably the greatest season from a midfielder in Premier League history, he also scored 10/13 attempted free-kicks and had a 90% pass accuracy.

It was unfortunate for Toure that Luis Suarez was on fire for Liverpool as Yaya would definitely have picked up individual awards.
