Real Madrid will close their doors on 2019 this Sunday, a bad year in which the Whites have not won any title. And they will do so at the Santiago Bernabeu against Athletic.
Their opponents will come to Madrid on form. Zidane and his team left the Camp Nou with their morale in the sky and now want to add other three points to equal Barca in the table once again.
However, there is also the possibility of being top. If Madrid win their game by a difference of six goals, the Whites will become the new La Liga leaders going into the New Year.
Modric will want to lend a hand with that. The Croatian again starts after Casemiro is absent due to a ban, which will allow him to help the team achieve victory.
Up until now, Luka Modric has played 16 games (895 minutes), in which he has scored three goals and got four assists. At the Camp Nou he was a substitute, but this seems to have all been forgotten.
Now, Luka's goal is to get back into the spotlight and appear regularly in the starting line-up, although Zidane has been giving him more chances lately.
