Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric admitted that he watches Chelsea ‘a lot’ after playing a starring role in the Blues’ Champions League defeat at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Croatian playmaker was in stunning form as Los Blancos defeated the reigning European champions in Spain.
Thomas Tuchel’ s men had actually raced into a 3-0 lead and looked en-route to their second-consecutive semi-final place thanks to goals from Mason Mount, Antonio Rudiger and Timo Werner. However, Rodrygo hauled the hosts level from aggregate as he fired home a stunning outside-of-the-boot pass from Modric before Karim Benzema had yet another say following his Stamford Bridge hat-trick with an extra-time winner.
Of course, Modric did not get on the scoresheet himself but he was a pivotal performer for Carlo Ancelotti ’s men. Speaking with CBS after the final whistle, he gave his verdict on the Blues and even suggested that he is an avid watcher of Thomas Tuchel’s men.
