Real Madrid midfielder Modric recognises 'a dynasty predicted by Zizou'

Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric knows they're in a golden era of the club.

Modric is going for a sixth Champions League title ahead of their semifinal against Manchester City.

He said, "All the trophies we've won say a lot about our efforts and behaviour on a daily basis, whether we in or not. What we do and how we handle ourselves in situations where we don't win is also significant.

"Trophies give us something to be happy about and to be proud of what we have achieved. It's also something to commend for the way in which we have achieved them. We're delighted with everything we've done here.

“I still remember the talk and the video of Zizou discussing the dynasty. We pulled it off and these things give you extra motivation. Playing in this competition and doing so for Real Madrid is enough to motivate you.

"When you know you're so close to reaching another final you want to give everything and I'm sure it spurs you on to give even more. We're close to doing something historic and amazing."
