Luka Modric produced a moment of magic in the build-up to Real Madrid's second goal against Paris Saint-Germain.
Modric grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and carried the ball with a majestic run, taking out a slew of PSG players.

The 36-year-old picked up the ball just outside his own box and went on a run as he took out PSG's midfield in a sublime moment.
But the Croatian midfielder wasn't content with just carrying the ball as he pierced a lovely through pass to Vinicius Junior who eventually returned the ball to the man himself.
Modric then brilliantly picked out Benzema who smashed home to level the tie 2-2.
His run and passes to Vinicius Jr. and Benzema sent social media into overdrive.

One Twitter user wrote: "36 y/o doing this on a CL night against a 'Super team'. Simply the best."
A second tweeted: "Incredible. Vinicius Jr also excellent - and Benzema with the clinical finish. Real sliced through PSG with the precision of a surgeon."
A third added: "Best CM in the world not a question. GOAT midfielder."
A fourth commented: "That run split the mid and defense of PSG."
Of course, after making it 2-1 on the night, Benzema made it 3-1 straight from the kick-off to book Real's spot in the next round.
