Real Madrid Confidencial Ancelotti Confesses the Reason Modric Plays and Not Arda Güler: 'every Time...'
The Italian coach spoke about Luka Modric's role after a great match by the Croatian
Real Madrid Managed to Defeat Girona CF (2-0) in Matchday 25 of LaLiga. Goals from LukaModric, just before halftime, and Vinícius, at the end of the match, allowed the white team to continue fighting for the leadership.
Modric's powerful shot from outside the box in the 41st minute and Thibaut Courtois's interventions between the posts were key. Despite the effort from Míchel's team, Real Madrid ultimately prevailed with a goal from Vinícius as the match was nearing its end.
With this victory, Real Madrid reaches 54 points, tying with Barcelona in the standings, maintaining the pressure on the culés. Meanwhile, Girona, which has suffered three consecutive defeats and has 31 points, sees the possibility of playing in European competitions next season increasingly distant.
Modric and Vinícius Put Real Madrid at the Top
It was the experienced Luka Modric who managed to open the scoring for Real Madrid, just before halftime. The ball reached the front of the box, where the Croatian midfielder connected a volley that ended up slipping into Girona's goal.
In the second half, Kylian Mbappé had the opportunity to increase the lead in the 79th minute, but he missed in front of Gazzaniga. However, it was Vinícius who solved the uncertainty in the final minutes. After an excellent assist from Modric, the Frenchman delivered a precise pass for the Brazilian to simply push the ball in.
Carlo Ancelotti's Praise for Luka Modric
After the match, Carlo Ancelotti appeared before the microphones of "Real Madrid TV". The Italian coach, satisfied with the team's work during the last week, had wonderful words for Luka Modric.
"I'm going to describe Luka Modric in a few words. He remains the best every time he plays," commented Carlo Ancelotti after the match.
The Croatian started in a match where Carlettó made rotations and Arda Güler once again remained without minutes. The Turkish midfielder had to watch the entire match from the bench, and his situation remains an enigma.
