It was a top moment for Real Madrid as it won the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday. It defeated Athletic Bilbao, with Luka Modric and Karim Benzema scoring. Meanwhile, Modric's incredible form has been highlighted this season, as he has seemingly emerged in the race for the next Ballon d'Or.
"Without wanting to brag, Modric and Courtois are the best players in the world in their positions. Modric is in an enviable form. He's worthy of winning the Ballon d'Or again," Perez told Movistar. He also acclaimed club defender Marcelo for his rock-solid work in the defence, while he has won 23 titles at the club.
Modric has managed just a goal this season in 22 matches. However, he has acted chiefly as a playmaker and has been involved in numerous assists, making him the most valuable club player this season. Overall, he has 29 goals in 413 games at the club, besides winning 17 titles with the Los Blancos.
