Luka Modric received the trophy that recognises him as the best Croatian player of the season. It is the seventh time that the Real Madrid midfielder has won this award, given by the players and coaches of the League in his country.
The Croatian has been one of several Los Blancos players to have seen performance levels dip during the 2018/19 campaign as the club ended the year without a trophy.
But he is determined to return to winning ways and spoke about the upcoming challenge as he collected the Croatian player of the season award for the seventh year in a row.
"At Real Madrid we have the challenge of returning to old ways, of getting back to being the best," he said.
"The same could be said about the national team."
He went on to discuss the individual award he was presented with.
"This award means a lot to me, so I can only say thank you to everyone that voted for me," he said.
"It's always good to win this award, which is voted for by fellow professionals.
"Thanks to my teammates, as without them this award wouldn't have been possible."

The main players who helped Real Madrid win the championship have already left the team or are older. In theory, Real Madrid can't be as invincible as before.

Real Madrid's players have won countless honours, they are not so eager for the championship trophy, so they are difficult to return to the original level
