Decent output in win Modric registered one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Thursday's 2-0 win over Valencia.

Impact Names such as Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior stole and grabbed headlines during the win over Valencia, but Modric controlled the tempo in the middle of the pitch as he normally does. The veteran playmaker should remain in that role when Real Madrid takes on Mallorca on Sunday.

Comes off bench in draw Modric subbed into Sunday's match against Real Sociedad in the 78th minute and he took a shot and made a clearance in the 0-0 draw.

Impact Modric has only started one of Madrid's four La Liga games since returning from the World Cup. It's worth remembering that he is 37 years old and that he played almost every minute in Croatia's third-place finish at the World Cup in Qatar, but he has not been very effective by his standards since returning to his club team.

Logs three crosses in win Modric put one shot on target and logged three inaccurate crosses during Saturday's 2-1 win over Morocco in the third place game.

Impact Modric wasn't the most productive in the final game of his World Cup but his efforts aren't always going to show up in the box score. A second-place and third-place finish in the last two World Cups is nothing short of exceptional for Modric and Croatia as he nears the end of his international career. With five goals and two assists in 17 appearances before going to Qatar, Modric hasn't shown any signs of slowing down yet.

Contained by Argentina Modric took one shot (zero on target), delivered two corners and sent in two crosses (one accurate) during Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Argentina.

Impact Modric came off during the 81st minute once the game was well in-hand. The 37-year-old midfield maestro had an exceptional overall showing in Qatar and cemented his legacy as a national icon, but his efforts weren't enough to help propel his team to a second straight World Cup final. That said, he demonstrated absolutely no signs of slowing down anytime soon, and he should be a productive fantasy asset when La Liga play resumes for the second half of the season.
