Luka Modric was in sublime form as Real Madrid staged an incredible comeback to knock Paris Saint-Germain out of the Champions League on Wednesday night.
It has been revealed that the 36-year-old made a prophecy before the match to a friend about what would happen if Real Madrid were to beat the Parisian club.
On Wednesday, El Partidazo de COPE's Poli Rincon revealed his own prediction about Los Blancos' Champions League campaign if they were to beat PSG.
"I said it on this programme: if Real Madrid win the tie, they will win the competition. I have no doubt," he stated.
In response, Paco Gonzalez stated that Modric shared this same vision.
"What you just said, Poli, [Modric] said the same thing to my friend yesterday: 'If we beat PSG, we will win the Champions League,'" he confirmed.
The Croatian central midfielder is now eyeing his fifth Champions League medal and was at the centre of the wild celebrations in the dressing room at full time.

You see Neymar missing out the ball to Luka Modric, but what happened afterward basically sums up Neymar and Modric: Modric was running with the ball, dribbling and Neymar, who should track down faster without the ball, had basically no intention to correct his mistake. Modric was around the opponent penalty box to create again and Neymar was down sitting in the halfway line. This is the difference between a Neymar and a Modric. Neymar with all the talent in the world hardly had that will constantly. Whereas, an warrior like Modric at 36 still gives his best possible in the pitch. Perhaps, Neymar will go down as just another great player with bunch of what ifs and Modric, conversely, will go down as one of the greatest midfielers the game has ever seen, will sit with the absolute best. It was Neymar who was supposed to break the dominance of Messi-Ronaldo, but it's Modric who actully did it. Hardwork, willpower always prevails talent. ©Wasif Rahman

Ok let's not get cocky. Teams like Liverpool and Bayern are still out there causing carnage.. they won't be easy to beat. We don't have the best squad. Let's stay humble.
