Luka Modric is already a fan favorite at the Bernabéu. Not only is his technical ability valued, but his hard-work is noticed as well. The Croatian has really settled in at the club since joining last season. Here are some pretty impressive stats.
Since joining Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 season, Luka Modric has completed the most passes out of anyone in the Real Madrid squad.
Most completed passes since 2012/2013:
- Luka Modric: 1,739
- Sergio Ramos: 1,736
- Xabi Alonso: 1,528
- Alvaro Arbeloa: 1,202
- Pepe: 1,179
Through 8 games into this season, Luka has a 91.2% pass completion rate; a huge improvement from last year's rate which was at 87.7%. He has played in all 8 league matches this season and has demonstrated his ability to mobilise the team with 406 completed passes. Last season, the little maestro averaged 40 passes per game. Just into 8 league matches this season, he is averaging 50.
Its safe to say we are lucky to have Lucky Luka!!
