Addressing the press after Real Madrid’s determined 4-1 win over Celta Vigo, Modric communicated his mistake in losing Casemiro: “The Casemiro thing is a disgrace, we have left a mark on the world with him, he has been a crucial piece for ourselves and we will miss him a ton, as a player and an individual.

This is your home, @Casemiro 😍#MUFC

“This is essential for football, I am miserable to see him go yet we need to continue onward without him and every player needs to give much more as far as the things he did.”

Talking after the game chief Carlo Ancelotti named Modric ‘godlike’: “He is undying. He is constantly ready, he generally plays well overall. His objective has changed the game, up to that point it was an even and serious game.”
