Barcelona's Dani Olmo names Real Madrid legend as best

FC Barcelona have made a bright start to their season. They have won all three of their league games so far. On the other hand, Real Madrid have stumbled, drawing two of them. That means that Hansi Flick's side have already built up a four-point lead over the defending champions. And one of their summer signings is already making his presence felt.

After taking some time to register Dani Olmo, Barcelona's major summer addition, the EURO winner was handed his debut against Rayo Vallecano in their most recent game. And the Spaniard did not disappoint, scoring the winner in what was a 2-1 away victory for them.

Mbappe also scored on his competitive debut for Real Madrid, in the UEFA Super Cup. But he has found it a lot more difficult in league competition. The Frenchman has yet to register his first goal or assist in La Liga after three appearances.

It is only just the beginning of the season though. Expect Real Madrid to find form soon and Mbappe his scoring boots.

As reported by Mundo Deportivo, Olmo was asked about his best rival. The new Barcelona signing went on to name Real Madrid's Luka Modric. He also named the Croatian as the rival player he would like to have on his team.

It would be pretty safe to say that Olmo seems like a big fan of Modric. That's a great choice, to be honest.

Of course, Modric is in the twilight of his career. He will turn 39 years of age next month. It has been more than a decade since he has been at Real Madrid. This season, he has featured in all four games so far but started in only one of them. Expect Ancelotti to continue managing his minutes.
