Luka Modric (39) brought the Bernabeu stadium crowd to their feet
on Sunday with a spectacular goal in Real Madrid`s 2-0 LaLiga
win over Girona, and manager Carlo Ancelotti was effusive in his
praise for the Croatian.
Modric, Ballon d`Or winner in 2018, scored
Real`s opener
in the victory, controlling a looping clearance from a corner with
his chest before unleashing a sublime long-range volley which
arrowed into the top corner in the 41st minute.
The 39-year-old, who
has lifted 28 trophies since he joined the
Spanish giants in 2012, will be out of contract at the end of the
season.
