Luka Modric as big part of Real Madrid’s success

Modric the essential of victory

Luka Modric’s age counter advances along with his record of brilliant performances with Real Madrid. Sometimes it even seems that the first has stopped and lives in a perennial youth . Few would say, watching him game after game, that the Croatian is a veteran on his way to 37 years. He will fulfill them on September 9.

The icing on the cake to a new portentous performance of the Balkan, clairvoyant with the ball at his feet, sacrificed in defense. He was the second Madrid player who covered the most kilometers in the game (13.72, only behind the 14.01 kilometers of ‘Halcon’ Valverde).

The importance of modric

Modric is the third most decisive player in Madrid’s goals, behind Benzema and Vinicius . The Croatian has only scored three goals (which in any case places him as the team’s fourth top scorer), but he has given nine assists, so his contribution exceeds the ten goals and the goal assist recorded by Asensio. Benzema has been involved in 51 goals (38 made and 13 assists) and Vinicius in 30 (17 plus 13). Ancelotti is managing Modric’s minutes and the Croatian responds with memorable performances. He has left his mark in the big games this season. Against Chelsea, in the comeback against PSG or in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic, in which he opened the scoring
