Thriving Modric helps Madrid get over Casemiro’s departure
MADRID: Luka Modric is making it easier for Real Madrid fans to start getting over Casemiro’s departure. A day after the Brazil midfielder announced he was ending his successful decade-long stint with Madrid to join Manchester United, his former teammate scored a beautiful goal and set up another to help the defending champion beat Celta Vigo 4-1 on Saturday for its second consecutive win to start the Spanish league. Modric’s performance was worthy of applause even by Celta fans when the veteran was substituted in the second half.
