It was his second La Liga goal of the season and could have been the best he has ever scored for Real in his 13 seasons with the club.
The Croatian described the goal and his emotions when speaking to Realmadrid TV.
To score a goal like that, you have to shoot. I was left alone; I controlled the ball, I hit it well, and it went in, thank God. It was a beautiful goal, and it is always special to score at home, at the Bernabéu, in front of the fans.Luka Modric

It is a very important victory. We have to keep fighting. We played a very good game after the great night the other day. It is not easy, after so much effort, to get our minds set and play a good game, but we did it. We have to keep growing as a team.Luka Modric
