Luka Modrić delivered a standout performance in Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Villarreal, earning a standing ovation at the Bernabeu.
Real’s captain once again proved himself when it mattered the most. After a draw in the Madrid derby against Atletico and a loss to Lille in the Champions League, Real needed a win against Villarreal in the ninth round of La Liga. They succeeded with a 2-0 victory, and their Croatian captain played brilliantly.
Before this match, Modrić had only started 4 of 11 matches this season, but Carlo Ancelotti trusted him in this crucial game, and Modrić repaid that trust with an outstanding performance. His stats against Villarreal, the words of coach Ancelotti, the impression of Spanish journalists, and a video of Modrić’s highlights that has emerged, all testify to his brilliance.
Watch the video to see why everyone is praising Modrić after the Villarreal match.
