Modric: I have a year and a half left on my contract and want to stay even longer LaLiga Santander - Real Madrid vs Sevilla Spoke about his future

Luka Modric scored the goal that rounded off Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Sevilla and he hopes he has many more matches and wins to come in a white shirt.

His contract situation was brought up after the match and the Ballon d'Or winner explained that he'd like to remain at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

"I have a year and a half left on my contract and I am calm, as that's a long time," he told reporters.

"My desire is to stay here for more time.

"I am as happy as I was on the first day."

The Croatian midfielder went on to reflect on the day's win and on his goal.

"I am very happy and think we played a great game," he said.

"We are happy with our play and happy with the three points.

"We need to follow this path.

"Every player had a great game and our fans want to see us like this.

"We needed a match like this one to give some joy to ourselves and to the supporters.

"Personally, I feel good and have felt good for the past month and a half."

Asked about the title race and asked if Real Madrid can still catch Barcelona, Modric said he wasn't thinking about that.

"We don't need to think about Barcelona or about how many points we have," he said.

"We need to go game by game.

"We need to fight and see where we get to at the end of the season.

"That's what we need to do, not worry about others."

As it stands, with Barcelona boasting a game in hand, Real Madrid are seven points off the top.
