His magical abilities have been on display, every time he featured for the Los Blancos during the campaign. Holding on to the ball, making intelligent moves into the final third and sending killer passes into the box, the playmaker has been creating the perfect atmosphere for the attackers to operate.
He also served as a source of relief to the defenders, dropping deep at vital moments to mark, steal the ball, holding on to it and restarting attacks. With this effort, he was able to cool the pressure on his team when they faced Bayern Munich at the Santiago Bernabeu recently.

One of the best midfielders in the world at the moment, Modric has bagged 2 goals and 7 assists for the Los Blancos in all competitions this season. He also has 2115 passes, 58 dribbles as well as 42 shots to his name.
