Carlo Ancelotti calls Luka Modric a gift to football after wonder goal against Girona

Reuters, 14 h ago Luka Modric (39) brought the Bernabeu stadium crowd to their feet on Sunday with a spectacular goal in Real Madrid`s 2-0 LaLiga win over Girona, and manager Carlo Ancelotti was effusive in his praise for the Croatian. Modric, Ballon d`Or winner in 2018, scored Real`s opener in the victory, controlling a looping clearance from a corner with his chest before unleashing a sublime long-range volley which arrowed into the top corner in the 41st minute. The 39-year-old, who has lifted 28 trophies since he joined the Spanish giants in 2012, will be out of contract at the end of the season. They had the chance to equalise on a counter-attack, after a corner. The second goal killed the game. It could have been done earlier, but the team played well. It wasn`t easy to repeat the commitment of Wednesday`s game, but with this schedule, I liked the attitude. Even if it wasn` t at the level of the match against City.
