Real Madrid midfield maestro Luka Modric has revealed his most cherished memory at the Santiago Bernabéu — the unforgettable clash against Paris Saint-Germain in the 2021/22 UEFA Champions League.
In a recent interview, Modric said, “My favorite memory at the Bernabeu? I’ll have to say the PSG game. Because before that game, I said it. I said if we win tonight, we win the Champions League, and that’s exactly what happened.”
That Round of 16 second-leg fixture saw Real Madrid overturn a 2-0 aggregate deficit, with Karim Benzema’s heroic hat-trick sealing a 3-2 win. Modric played a key role, orchestrating the midfield and delivering a stunning assist.
The victory sparked a legendary run that led Los Blancos to clinch their 14th Champions League title, overcoming Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool along the way. For Modric, that magical night against PSG marked the turning point — both for the team and his own legacy in Madrid.
