Modric is an accomplished goalscorer from long distance. However, that doesn't stop him from practising. Maybe the explanation for his wonder goal at the Parken lies in training on the eve of the match, when the Croat stayed behind to practise his shooting from outside the box with Zidane. His goal will go down as one of the best of the season.

Just like his other four goals for Real, this one also came from outside the area, which is no coincidence. The Bernabeu faithful will remember his right-footed goal at Old Trafford, which started Madrid’s final come-back against United.

In 73 games, the Croat has already equalled the goals scored by another Real legend, Fernando Redondo. The Argentine scored his five goals in 228 matches, although he played a more positional game.
