Luka Modric was a standout performer in Real Madrid’s win against Italian Serie A side AS Roma in the UEFA Champions League last night. He gave a defence splitting pass to Gareth Bale who got the second goal in the 3-0 win as Isco and Real Madrid new signing Mariano Diaz capped off a spectacular night for the Los Blancos.
Luka Modric admitted that he was struggling at the beginning of this season claiming he feel weak after the World cup.
He was acknowledged as the best player at the World Cup in Russia with a golden ball after putting up a stellar performance for Croatia in which they came second.
"Very happy with our performance as a team and for the win," he said after the Roma game. "It was a very complete performance, we have created many chances and could have scored more than three goals.
"I was mentally and physically fatigued after the World Cup, but I'm feeling better every day and I hope to keep playing how I have done tonight."
The Croatian midfielder also spoke about how it feels like playing in Los Blancos midfield with the magical combinations of Casemiro and Toni Kroos, he also took time to assess his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or and the FIFA The Best award this year.
"Of course, I feel comfortable with them," he said of the midfield duo. "We have been playing together for more than three years now, we know each other almost with our eyes closed. "But I also feel comfortable with the others.
"I'm proud that the fans and fellow players have voted for me, but, I'm not thinking about it [Ballon d'Or] too much, the most important thing is the team.
"If I win it, very good, I will be very happy, but if not life goes on."
