Modric Acknowledges That Liverpool’s Struggles Have “Truly Shocked” Him.

Luka Modric, a midfielder for Real Madrid, has acknowledged that Liverpool’s inconsistent play this year has shocked him.

Despite the fact that Jurgen Klopp’s team has won its past two games, they have been a shell of the team they once were for most of this season and are presently sitting in eighth position in the Premier League.

In the opening leg of their Champions League round of 16 match, Liverpool will face Real on Tuesday, and Modric is still mindful of the danger that they may provide.

I’m genuinely shocked that Liverpool is so far behind in the Premier League, but they could equally say the same thing about us right now in La Liga, remarked Modric. I thus won’t say anything.

‘Looking at the Liverpool group, we know that they may respond at any stage and begin to make a comeback in the season. We must be prepared even though I hope it won’t happen in these two games against us in the Champions League.

A Liverpool-Real match is one of the finest spectacles the game of football has to offer, notwithstanding our league seasons. The draw that resulted in us playing so early in the campaign would have made for a fantastic Champions League Final.

While Modric believes Real are the favorites, he expects the game against Liverpool to be a hard-fought contest in both legs.
