Modric promised Carvajal to take revenge: “We will crush them”

Last Friday, Apple TV + showed the Real Madrid documentary that tells about the coronation of the Champions League last season, highlighting unprecedented moments in the amazing season of the white team 2021/22.

The atmosphere of the Champions League Rimontada was displayed from the inside, in the locker room that experienced every difficult moment and that released the tension accumulated with each stage to reach the goal of being crowned fourteenth.

The Champions League round of 16 match against Paris Saint-Germain began the journey of victory for Real Madrid, as the foundation stone was laid for the legendary comeback at the Santiago Bernabeu (3-1) after the difficult defeat at the Parc des Princes (1-0).

“There was a lot of criticism, and we had to change. But despite not playing well and that they were better, when I left the field I told Carvajal,” Modric admitted, who was replaced by Fede Valverde in the 82nd minute.

The Croatian is one of the heroes of the documentary, and he did not hesitate to reveal some of the words he said for the first time to Carvajal as soon as he was substituted, and that he later conveyed to the dressing room: “We will crush them in the rematch.” And that’s exactly what happened as the Whites ended up achieving a comeback with a stunning Benzema hat-trick at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Modric’s “crazy” celebration

The Croatian star was the leader of the party after the white comeback against Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 of the Champions League last season. The white club posted a video on their social media, in which Luka Modric celebrates victory with his teammates in style.
