Luka Modric was the match winner against Sevilla, as he pulled a stunning strike from outside the box to late in the game against Sevilla to put Madrid in front.

Modric’s goal was all Real needed to secure a 1-0 home win over Sevilla in a La Liga clash on Sunday night.

The 38-year-old, who is out of contract this summer, has made 21 league appearances for Real this season, starting just 11 of those games.

It’s yet to be seen if Modric will be a Real Madrid player next season, and Carlo Ancelotti has admitted his case is quite complicated.

“He scored a great goal that allowed us to have another 3 points on the table. He shows everyone how hard it is for me to leave him on the bench,” Ancelotti said.

“Not just for the goal he scored, but how he trains. He is an example to the whole squad. It’s very complicated to leave him on the bench.”

Asked about the Modric’s contract, Ancelotti said: “It’s complicated. It’s hard to manage. I was once a player and went through it in my last year as a professional player.

“I would understand if Modric was a little bit upset if he is not playing. Everyone thinks he is at the end of his career, but I think he doesn’t agree with that. He looks to be well, fresh. He’s got legs. He doesn’t seem like he is 38.”

Reports claim that Ancelotti is considering making Modric a coach at Real Madrid when he retires from playing.
