Modric's Gesture to Mbappé that Was Not Seen on TV, Just Before Kylian's Goal

The Croatian midfielder once again showed his undoubted quality in the French forward's goal against Girona

Last Saturday, Real Madrid beat Girona CF (0-3) at Montilivi, after FC Barcelona's stumble against Real Betis (2-2). Ancelotti's team is now in second place in the league table with 36 points, two behind Barça. All this with one game left to play.

It is key to remember that Real Madrid has one game in Mestalla against Valencia CF. The game was suspended due to the terrible consequences caused by the DANA at the beginning of November. For now, the date set for the game is January 2nd, but the AFE doesn't think it is convenient.

A new exhibition from Luka Modric

Luka Modric was back as first team player in Saturday's game against Girona CF. The Croatian, who had rested at San Mamés, returned to replace Dani Ceballos for the clash at Montilivi .

However, it seems that Luka Modric hasn't aged. The midfielder appeared in all areas of the field, creating scoring opportunities with his masterful passes and having a strong presence in attack.

Luka Modric had a great game with the ball, sending a clear message to the Italian coach. Despite his age, he wants to keep playing and he doesn't give up.

Participated in Kylian Mbappé's goal

The Zadar native left a great impression on the Montilivi field. However, it was his magnificent assist to Kylian Mbappé for Real Madrid's third goal.

The Croatian magician filtered a pass for the Frenchman. An assist that was previously indicated with his arm. Luka Modric indicated to Kylian Mbappé where he had to run, the Frenchman did so, and stood in front of the goalkeeper to finish.

Details that very few can match. Remember Toni Kroos himself, who did exactly the same thing with Vini Jr. in a Clásico a few years ago with a play that also ended in a goal.

That was the last dose of the Luka Modricshow . Previously, the Croatian also filtered a great pass for Jude Bellingham to assist Arda in the second goal . It seems that the Ballon d'Or doesn't age.
