Luka Modric is tall to reappear this Sunday in the return of football to the Bernabéu, 560 days after the 2-0 victory over Barcelona on March 1 last year. After the physical problems suffered a few weeks ago, he has trained normally with the rest of his teammates and aims to play against Celta. The absence of Kroos and the unknowns of Casemiro, who arrives from America with just enough time to compete, implies that the return of the Ballon d’Or is more necessary than ever. We will see if he does it as a starter or if he enters the second half with a view to the Champions duel next Wednesday against Inter in Milan.

His awards with the Ballon d’Or and the FIFA The Best Award for the best world player, achieved in 2018, broke the monopoly set by Cristiano and Modric over a decade

the return to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium a year and a half later. A special match for the footballers, who will see their fans again, with 22,500 spectators.

Luka, as they call him, is almost one hundred percent and the Italian coach must decide how many minutes to give him. Have to Blanco and Camavinga as other options, apart from the consecrated Valverde and Casemiro. The challenge set with Modric is that he rotates more than ever this season, to graduate his wear and that is minimal.

Modric is a benchmark in the dressing room. Lucas He underlined a month ago the secret that the Croatian keeps to perform like this at 36. He does not tell anyone. And the secret is as simple as it is sacrificed: eat things that suit your DNA, sleep eight hours, train well, and don’t break that discipline.

He was born in Zadar (Croatia) on September 9, 1985 and since he joined Real Madrid in the 2012-13 season he has won a total of 17 titles: 4 Champions League, 4 Club World Cups, 3 European Super Cups, 2 Leagues, 1 Copa del Rey and 3 Spanish Super Cups.

His performances with Real Madrid and the Croatian national team have led him to win the most important individual awards in recent years. The Croatian won the Ballon d’Or and the FIFA The Best Award for best player, both in 2018. Modric has been a key player in one of the club’s most successful eras and is now 392 games and 28 goals as a madridista.
