The fantastic Luka Modric showed his quality against PSG. Watch his great action before the goal

After the rematch at the Santiago Bernabéu between Real Madrid and PSG, most of the attention will rightly be on Karim Benzema, whose hat-trick sent the Spanish side into the quarter-finals. But we should not forget about Luka Modric, who gave an excellent performance and once again proved that he is not an old hand.

After Mbappé’s goal, Real Madrid’s chances of advancing looked bleak, but the White Ballet did not give up and showed the football world a beautiful turnaround in the second half.

PSG will not succeed in the Champions League again, despite the fact that they have been giving everything to this competition lately. The offensive trio of Neymar – Mbappé – Messi, built up before the season, has not helped either.

The ageless duo of Benzema and Modric contributed to their demise. When the Croatian midfielder signed a one-year contract with Madrid last summer, it seemed that it would be his last year at the club.

However, Modrić is showing that playing at the highest level is not a problem for him. This was also evident in yesterday’s game::

The highlight of his performance was the action before the home team’s second goal, when he first intercepted an opponent’s pass, took the ball out to the half with a great sprint, taking on several players, and sent Vinicius on a breakaway.

When the ball came back from him, he sent it through Kimpembe’s legs to Benzema, who scored his second goal of the night with the help of a run.

In short, great action and a great performance. Thirty-six-year-old Luka Modric showed once again why he is one of Real Madrid’s key players for the umpteenth season. Perhaps no one can be surprised that the club’s management plans to offer him another one-year extension.
