Luka Modrić keeps making history with Real Madrid. During the game against Barcelona, the playmaker reached a goal that only a few others have reached: 500 games for Real Madrid.
The Croatian was so happy with his accomplishment that he said, “I don’t know what to say.” It makes me proud to have played for this club so many times. The number 500 is very important. I couldn’t have asked for more than to reach this number against a big enemy in the Clásico and win the game. I’m happy to have reached this number at the very largest club ever.
“Once more, we’ve shown what kind of people we are. Fight until the end and never give up. We earned the win because of how well we played in the second half. The day could not have been more wonderful. That’s a huge number. I’m not sure I understand what I’m doing at this club.
A unique game
“These things make you proud.” That’s why I’m happy and proud: getting to this number is hard, and not many people do it. I wore the cap that Carvajal gave me in the second half and won the Clásico ball. “Today has been great.”
As for Bellingham
“He just came in, but it looks like he’s been here for a long time, not three months.” In Spain, they say that he is now “on the front foot.” Because of who he is and how he acts, we’re all very happy with his performance. He hasn’t just changed so well by chance. The boy is great, and every day he shows what a great gift he is. Even he can’t believe how many goals he’s getting. I am so happy for him and praise all the good things he is doing. He needs to keep going.Real Madrid’s DNA
“This victory was about not giving up until the very end.” What we did was that. We have to keep going because there’s still a long way to go.
