A head-turning statistic, highlighting the excellence of a member of the midfield ranks at Real Madrid in the club’s latest outing has on Tuesday surfaced online.

The player in question? Luka Modrić.

Veteran engine room standout Modrić, for his part, was introduced off the bench this evening.

The aforementioned Modrić was thrown on from the bench with the hosts eager to gain more control in the middle of the park, during the 2nd-half.

And to say that the Croatian went on to impress would be something of an understatement.

Rolling back the years once more, Modrić absolutely ran the show in the middle of the park, controlling the tempo and flow of the clash courtesy of flawless touch, elite decision-making, and pinpoint passing.

And it is his exploits in the latter of these categories which has since given rise to a remarkable statistic.

As per SofaScore, Modrić found his man with each and every one of his 50 passes in the derby, for a completion rate of 100%.
