Luka Modrić yesterday in the Madrid derby against "Atletico" played as if he were not 36, but at best 25. The Croat was one of the main reasons, along with Thibaut Courtois, why Madrid's "Real" looked so comfortable in the field and did not give a chance to their main rivals from Madrid. L. Modrić played so well yesterday that even a small group of "Atletico" fans applauded him standing up, just like the "Real" fans who watched the match at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. After the match, "Real" veteran did not spare praise for him and the team's head coach Carlo Ancelotti. The Italian said: "Today everyone impressed me, but Modrić was incredible, he is extraordinary. I also liked Courtois and Casemiro." "Real" forward Vinicius said after the match: "They say that Modrić is 36. But I think he is 22," - smiled the Brazilian. "It feels incredibly good when you hear your name being chanted at the Bernabeu stadium," said the Croatian magician himself after the match. In the near future, the "Royal Club" should extend the contract with L. Modrić for another year, until 2023, according to Fabrizio Romano.
