Is Mezut Özil the best midfielder?

Mest Ozil vs Barcelona:
4 tackles (equal most in the game)
7 interceptions (most in the game)
3 key passes (most in the game)
26 passes@70%
7 crosses (most in the game)
2 long balls
1 through-ball
3 successful dribbles
and 49 touches on the ball (the most for Real Madrid)

Mesut Ozil has the most assists in any European league with 16 with a chance at claiming the crown in back to back seasons. He also surpassed Ryan Giggs tally of 16 assists to Ronaldo when he gave Ronaldo his 17th goal and the winner at the Nou Camp.
