Luka Modric's game-changing pass against Chelsea takes social media by storm

Chelsea were left heart-broken as a superb fightback at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid on Tuesday was not enough to secure qualification for the Champions League semi-finals.

Thomas Tuchel's side wiped out Madrid's 3-1 lead from the quarter-final first leg as Mason Mount, Antonio Rudiger and Timo Werner put the reigning champions on the cusp of a stunning victory.

Then Luka Modric, 36, put all his skill and experience into one moment of genius as a sumptuous 30-yard pass with the outside of his right foot set up Rodrygo beautifully and the substitute volleyed in.

“If I think of one moment in the two leg, it’s his pass with the outside of the foot for the goal for Rodrygo” @lukamodric10 was praised highly by Thierry Henry, @carra23 and @Pschmeichel1.
