Modric on Real Madrid’s Losses to Barcelona: We'll Bounce Back
Luka Modric discusses Real Madrid's struggles against Barcelona, conceding nine goals over two games, and promises a determined comeback.
In the aftermath of two devastating defeats to Barcelona, Real Madrid's captain Luka Modric has addressed the team’s shortcomings while promising a spirited recovery. Across two matches, including the Supercopa de España final, Real Madrid conceded a staggering nine goals, leaving fans and players grappling with disappointment.
The most recent loss, a 5-2 defeat in the Supercopa final, highlighted defensive vulnerabilities that Barcelona exploited with clinical precision. Reflecting on the match, Modric said, "It’s unacceptable to concede nine goals in two games against our biggest rivals, but we will bounce back. These moments test our character, and I believe we have the strength to respond."
Modric, who entered the second half in an effort to stabilize the midfield, praised Barcelona’s dominance but also pointed out areas for improvement within Real Madrid’s setup. "Credit to Barcelona—they played an excellent game. But we made too many mistakes that cost us dearly. We need to learn from these games and come back stronger," he explained.
Despite the setbacks, Modric emphasized unity and resilience as key to the team’s recovery. "This team has faced adversity before, and we’ve always risen to the occasion. Losing to Barcelona is tough, especially by such margins, but the season is far from over," he assured fans.
Real Madrid now turns its attention to the La Liga title race, where every point will matter in their quest to outpace Barcelona and other competitors. Modric’s leadership, combined with the team’s determination to improve, will be instrumental in shaping their response to these defeats.
As Real Madrid regroups, fans can expect a reinvigorated approach in the weeks ahead. With experienced players like Modric and young talents stepping up, the road to redemption begins now.
