PARIS, April 12 (Benin News) –
For his part, Real Madrid’s Luka Modric said he was “very satisfied” after reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, and highlighted the role of Carlo Ancelotti, who wanted to highlight because he “changed the style of play with changes.
“It’s a great night, another great match at the Bernabeu, a defeat that tastes so sweet. We suffered but we didn’t give up until the end. Despite the 0-3 loss, we didn’t play a bad match. They put everything they had into the game and we kept fighting. We kept fighting,” Modric told Movistar: The coach made some good changes that helped us a lot and changed the game. We are very happy to be in the semi-finals.”
“We used to suffer, it happened to us a few times like facing Bayern, Juventus, Ajax and Schalke… Today we suffered again, but the important thing is that we overcame it. It is hard to describe the feelings after those 120 minutes. The Croatia international commented with so many injuries, But all the players showed a lot of character and this is a victory for the team.”
Furthermore, Modric said it was “a great honor to hear the crowd chanting” his name. “I have to thank them for the love I received from day one. I try to give back those feelings by helping the team, playing well and winning matches.
Finally, Modric did not want to commit to his future. “It will take one year at a time, to see if I can continue at this level. The opponent in the semi-finals? It is a difficult question because if you want to win the Champions League, you have to beat everyone. City and Atletico are strong but we are in the semi-finals and that is what is important. We can watch the game in peace.”
