Luka Modric still Real Madrid's most important player, even at 36. Just ask PSG

Stop the tape and you still can't see the pass. But then you're not Real Madrid's Luka Modric, and nor is anyone else.

Press pause, and it isn't really possible. Modric stands outside the penalty area, on the edge of the D. Rodrygo is just to the right of him, but that's not the ball he wants to play ... although he lets the defence think it is. It's Karim Benzema he's trying to reach. The trouble is, there are six blue shirts between him and his destination; a seventh nearby, too.
