Modric has been a key part of a Real Madrid side since signing for the club in 2012 and he remains one of the first names on the team sheet a decade later.

The Croatian has played 11 times for Los Blancos this season, scoring twice.

He will no doubt play a key role as Real Madrid welcome Barcelona to Santiago Bernabeu for the first Clasico of the season on Sunday afternoon.

Modric silences teammates in Real Madrid training

Real Madrid are preparing for their clash against fierce rivals Barcelona this weekend.

Los Blancos have been sharing some clips from training ahead of the match.

And one clip they shared was of Modric silencing his teammates with a moment of magic.

Modric and his teammates were taking part in a shooting drill.

A ball is fizzed in with some pace and the player has to take a touch before shooting at goal.

Modric stepped up but he uncharacteristically took a wayward touch. That prompted Real players, including Rodrygo and Eden Hazard, to pipe up as they put pressure on the legendary midfielder.

But Modric silenced them by flicking the ball over his head before striking a venomous volley into the net from range.

Real's players were left impressed as Rodrygo picked up Modric in celebration. Hazard, Nacho and David Alaba could be seen clapping their teammate's brilliance. Watch the moment below...

Rodrygo sings Modric's praises

Modric's magic in training would have come as no surprise to Rodrygo.

The Brazilian youngster recently spoke of Modric's brilliance in a recent interview.

“I’ve no words to talk about Modrić, he’s a star, he’s cheerful. It’s always a pleasure to play with him, and share the locker room because I only saw him on PlayStation and today, I play next to him. It’s unbelievable for me," he said, per Madrid Universal.
