Modric: “It's an incredible feeling when you hear the Bernabéu singing your name”

Luka Modrić put in a great performance against Atlético and received a well-deserved ovation from the Santiago Bernabéu. The midfielder told Realmadrid TV how happy he was: "It's an incredible feeling when you hear the Bernabéu singing your name. I want to thank them once more for the warmth they always show me. At last we've had a derby with a home crowd in, it really helps playing at the Bernabéu with the fans in. We showed today how much it means to us to play here, we put in a great performance and deserved to win".
 
"We're in a good position, but there's still a long way to go. We have to go one game at a time and stay focused until the end. You have to be at your best in games like these and perform at a high level, and we did just that. We all like to be involved in this type of game".
 
Good form
"I feel good physically and mentally. We worked well in pre-season and are working hard during the season with the coach and the fitness trainers. We've got to keep going".
