“Many times now I’ve heard people say that in Cardiff we did something really great, but I’m not the one to ask about that, mainly because of the enormous respect I have for the legends who have played for this club. The people who have witnessed those players and times can talk about it but I just feel very happy and proud to be a part of this Real Madrid side, doing the double after 59 years. After the final, I spent an hour in bed thinking about everything that has happened to me since arriving in 2012. When I came here, I believed that I would win titles because this is Madrid and that is expected but not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined what [Cristiano] Ronaldo, [Sergio] Ramos, [Keylor] Navas and I are doing at 31 or 32 years of age. Then there are younger members of the squad who are 10 years or even more younger than us, which means that Real can continue on this path of domination. Everything is so magical.” - Modrić
