Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has hit out at the club’s critics and claimed that suggestions his side have been lucky this season “make us laugh”.
Los Blancos secured their 35th La Liga title on Saturday by defeating Espanyol 4-0, with the celebrations going on well into the evening in the Spanish capital. They are still hopeful of European glory this campaign, too, despite being edged out by Manchester City during a seven-goal first-leg thriller at the Etihad.
There have been suggestions that the Spanish giants' success this season has been achieved despite them not being a vintage team. Carlo Ancelotti’s side came from behind to edge past Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea in the Champions League to reach the last four of the competition, before riding their luck at times away at City.
