I do agree with what author says in this article.
https://www.goal.com/en/lists/real-madrid-player-ratings-vs-villarreal-luka-modric-jude-bellingham/blt641c761b8c4f9f96Modric was ageless and he is always performing so well like his age is always still remain the same anytime. No doubt that if he has become one of player with most contribution in the match against villareal. I must admit that if modric was a gem even though he was old but his performance is always so amazing. It's possible for modric to stay in real madrid till his age will be 40 years old. Yeah he was old but his experience was very useful. As we can see that how real madrid was getting easy win against villareal.
Modric was also playing very important role in that match too. No doubt that if modric was able performing so well like he was still under 35 years old. That's amazing to see the old guy is always cooking even though he was old enough.
Bellingham is really extraordinary player and he is always showing amazing performance anytime.
Modric's performance has not yet experienced a noticeable decline. Well, he is still an irreplaceable player in the Real Madrid squad. In fact, he can play better than other young players. But Modric's stamina is actually not as good as when he was younger, of course. In the past he was more aggressive than now. It's just that until now there hasn't been a young player in Madrid who can play as well as Modric. And yes, it seems that age does not hinder Modric's performance at Real Madrid. But at the start of the season Modric experienced a decline. But after that Modric improved again and was still able to contribute very well to the club. I still remember when Modric received an offer from an Arab club. But it turns out that Modric intends to retire at Real Madrid. It seems he really wants to spend his career as a soccer player at Real Madrid. He is the best midfielder of his age now. At least now I know that there are 2 players who can maintain their performance at the age of 38, namely Ronaldo and Modric.
Luka Modric yesterday produced a scintillating performance in Real Madrid's win against Villa Real at the Santiago Bernabeu. Luka Modric's performance yesterday again reminded football fans across the globe of his capabilities and why he's regarded as one if the greatest midfielders of his generation. At 38 years of age, Luka Modric isn't showing any significant decline in form to the Modric we saw in his late 20s and early 30s. Just like his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, Luka Modric seems to get better as he ages.
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has been rotating his midfield players since the start of the season and that's because of the fact that his options in the midfield positions are all world class players players. In a team that has the very young, energetic and well performing midfielders like Aurelien Tchouameni, Camavinga and Federico Valverde, it'll only take a very good veteran midfield players like Luka Modric and Toni Kroos to still be able to feature in the team. Modric's career is nearing the end even when his performance isn't declining because I don't think he'll still play professional football in three seasons from now. It's believed that this will be his final season with Real Madrid and the Saudi League will be his next destination.
