Tottenham Hotspur fans were wowed by Luka Modric’s Champions League performance on Tuesday night.
The 35-year-old ran Liverpool ragged as his Madrid side beat the English champions 3-1 in their first-leg encounter.
Spurs fans witnessed Modric’s brilliance upfront during his days in North London and they made it pretty clear that he hasn’t lost one bit of his talents.
Only Modric has won the Ballon d’Or during the period in which Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have dominated – and there’s a big reason for that.
If Modric was in a crowded room, he would still manage to find space for himself because he was finding just that with ease against Liverpool.
Alongside his partner in crime, Toni Kroos, they made Liverpool, especially in the first half look like a team bewildered by the sheer technical masterclass unfolding before their eyes.
Tottenham supporters were loving what they were seeing from their one-time £30 million star, who left the club nearly ten years ago (BBC Sport).
Jose Mourinho would love a player of Modric’s qualities on his books right now because he would utterly dominate.
But that’s a wild dream, not just for the under-fire Spurs boss, but for all associated with the club.
Nonetheless, here is a selection of Spurs fans reacting to Modric’s performance last night:
