This is a goal that would be talked about through time. For a player of his age and in this era, he was able to pull out something of this spectacle, you’ve got to give it to Luka. He watched the ball all the way, landed it on his chest and after the first rebounce, he launched it straight to the far corner. There was nothing the goalkeeper could have done to stop that from going in. Everything was calculated with absolute precision and it was a master class.
Just when Girona was hoping they could hold it down to the first half and catch a break, Luka just let all hell break loose on them with that goal.

The goal surprised us all, even Bellingham and Carvajal who watched it from the stadium bench could not believe Modric did it. Old age has not dimmed the name of Modric and the opening goal he created would be very rare for us to find in a 39 year old player. Modric still has the energy to do it, it was really unexpected. On the other hand overall I am not satisfied with the performance of Madrid's front line who lost many goal opportunities. Vincius, Mbappe and Rodrygo did not perform optimally. Girona since the first half played defensively, Madrid should have scored more goals.
