Luka Modric showcased his timeless brilliance with a magnificent late decider against Sevilla, propelling Real Madrid to an eight-point lead at the summit of La Liga.<\/p>\n
Jude Bellingham, the English midfielder, was notably absent for Real in his third consecutive game, setting the stage for a potential goalless draw.<\/p>\n
However, the 38-year-old Croatian maestro, Modric, entered the fray as a substitute and, seven minutes later, unleashed a masterful curled shot that found the back of the net.<\/p>\n
Before Modric’s heroics, Lucas Vazquez had a goal disallowed for the hosts following an extensive Video Assistant Referee (VAR) review that determined a foul by home defender Nacho on forward Youssef En-Nesyri during the buildup.<\/p>\n
