Jude Bellingham<\/a> reckons Luka Modric<\/a> is ‘from a different planet’ after the39-year-old scored a stunning goal for Real Madrid<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The veteran midfielder opened the scoring for his team in a 2-0 win over Girona at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga.<\/p>\n

Modric turns 40 in September but he is still operating at the elite level, starting the game on Sunday alongside Aurelian Tchouameni in midfield.<\/p>\n

The former Spurs<\/a> star has already made 24 La Liga appearances and another 10 in the Champions League this season as his epic career keeps going on and on.<\/p>\n

Bellingham who is 18 years younger than his teammate can scarcely believe the quality the Croatian still displays at his age.<\/p>\n

After Modric’s stunning hit against Girona, Bellingham posted a clip of his teammate celebrating on Instagram and wrote: ‘From a different planet @lukamodric10 \ud83d\udc7d.’<\/p>\n

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti joined in the praise for the veteran midfielder, comparing the ‘gift to football’ to AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini.<\/p>\n

‘Modric is a gift for football,’ Ancelotti told a post-match news conference. ‘He should keep going for as long as he wants to. Whatever he does, he does well. <\/p>\n

‘Football, and we at Real Madrid, have been lucky to have him as a legend. He has been a gift, with his quality and his professionalism.<\/p>\n

‘I have an example of another player, Maldini, you can compare both of them. They’re fantastic role models. It isn’t a coincidence that they reached 40. Genes are a factor, but above all professionalism, seriousness, attitude.’<\/p>\n

Modric’s goal helped Real Madrid keep pace with Barcelona at the top of La Liga, with the two giants level on points and Barca ahead on goal difference.<\/p>\n

It is set to be a dramatic title race with Atletico Madrid just one point behind the leaders.<\/p>\n

On his goal, Modric told Real Madrid TV: ‘I don’t know if it’s one of my most spectacular, but it was nice. <\/p>\n

‘It’s always special to score at the Bernabeu \u2026 The recent games show we’re in a good moment. We have to keep going. I think we can still grow as a team.’<\/p>\n

Modric signed a new contract with Real Madrid at the end of last season which runs until the end of the current campaign.<\/p>\n

He is reportedly planning on signing another 12-month extension with the club and hopes to lead his country at the 2026 World Cup.<\/p>\n

Since joining from Spurs in 2012 the legendary midfielder has made 574 appearances for Real Madrid, winning six Champions Leagues and four La Liga titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
