He has contributed massively to Real Madrid's development this term, using his incredible talent and amazing skills to influence the overall performance of the team. Keeping possession, making intelligent moves and sending killer passes into the offensive areas, Modric has been a vital cog in the Los Blancos attack.
He also served as a source of relief for the defenders, tracking back in moments of pressure to pick the ball, holding on to it before distributing good passes and restarting attacks. This was evident in their 2-2 draw against Bayern Munich at the Bernabeu recently.
