Luka Modric put on a show for all

Luda Modric had an excellent game against Eibar. He was gliding across the pitch, unbalancing defenders for fun. He assisted Ronaldo for the first goal with a perfectly timed pass and almost ended the career of a defender with a shift of pace. He nearly scored a goal as well.

He basically showed up everywhere in the mid-field and pretty much ran the show from there. The assurance and fluidity that his presence provides to this team is quite apparent. He is going to be a cornerstone if Madrid are to become successful this season in the UCL.
