Real Madrid coach Ancelotti: Modric deserved that ovation

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was happy with Luka Modric for victory over Osasuna.

The veteran midfielder carved out Jude Bellingham's opener as Real won 4-0 on Saturday.

Ancelotti said: "He is his usual self, with his quality and commitment. The ovation today is normal for what he's done for this club.

"In order for you to get the best out of it, the atmosphere has to be pure. We have a fair vibe with smart people, young and old.

"They get on well with each other and I enjoy this atmosphere."
