Real Madrid beat Barça, although with much controversy, at the Santiago Bernabéu. The meringues beat Xavi Hernández’s team 3-2, supported by goals from Rodrygo, Lucas Vázquez and Bellingham, in addition to a very poor performance by Soto Grado as a refereegiving away penalties and taking goals away from the culés.
Despite this, Luka Modric positively valued his team’s victory, describing it as something common. “It’s a great night like many at the Bernabéu. Apart from the quality, we have incredible character and faith. This is no coincidence when it happens many times. All this is something that this team has and that pushes us forward“, explained the Croatian to the ‘Movistar’ microphones.
“They have created a spectacular atmosphere. We are where we want, eleven points up and we have little left to win LaLiga. It has a lot of merit because we come from 120 minutes with physical and mental exhaustion. Once again we showed that the team is physically well, emotionally above all, and playing at home with a crowd like today’s everything is easier“added Modric.
“This result brings us closer to what we want. It brings us closer to LaLiga. A great night. It’s a great team game. We never stopped believing, we were behind twice but we kept insisting, playing well, pressing and in the end we came back“, concluded the Croatian.
