Luka Modric Gets Standing Ovation From Liverpool Fans at Anfield Following Real Madrid 5-2

Luka Modric became one of the few players to ever receive a standing ovation from Liverpool fans at Anfield when he was withdrawn in the 87th minute of Real Madrid's 5-2 win over the hosts in the Champions League round of 16 first leg clash on Tuesday.

First Cristiano Ronaldo, now Luka Modric. Classy stuff Liverpool fans

Modric is just too good. He lead his national team into a world cup final and then to a 3rd place. Multiple UCLs. He was unplayable by Simeone's Atleti when Atleti played their best football. If Modric was a young English talent he'd be priced around 400million. #YNWA

Thank you Anfield, thank you Liverpool fans. Modric is a truly Croatian and football legend.

I was immedialty fan of Modric when i first saw him play for Tottenham, i still remember his fantasic match against liverpool when he scored a screamer into the top corner. In that same year Real Madrid signed him and what a great signing it turned out to be. He won everything for Real Madrid 5 UCL, Ballon d'or winner and he is still writing history, a remarkable player for me the best central midfielder to ever play the game.

Luka has something that others don't have, unrelated to football. Luka is a gentleman.

[darvinmijatovic]

they can all talk about the best, but Lukita when he came to Real, Madrid only grew, and the trophies and achievements are immeasurable with such a small and big man Luka 👑👏💪💯

[dikoputranto]

that is just genuine respect towards a brilliant player. they knew itd be impossible to beat madriid in this current liverpool shape, but to be humbled by such a brilliant performance, we cant just do nothing but salute!

And remember there were people bashing him after the 2018 Balon d'Or saying him not deserving to win it just because he had a 'bad' season afterwards. He later on won la liga twice and UCL.

Doesnt matter what team are in your heart. Modric is a football gentleman and all people love him.
By the way. Thanks, really THANKS for all love and respect Liverpool shows to the Amancio memory. You are the real one.

You don’t get a standing ovation over a “decent” performance.
He was top 3 player. Phenomenal match on Modrics part. Opened Liverpool up multiple times
