'We will kill them at the Bernabeu': Luka Modric reveals the secrets behind Real Madrid's astonishing 2021-22 Champions League win as the timeless midfielder says the players knew they could harness the home atmosphere to overturn deficits

Luka Modric has spoken about the secrets behind Real Madrid's astonishing route to their 14th Champions League crown last season.

The midfielder was ever-present as the club knocked out Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Manchester City en-route to the Paris final, where they beat Liverpool 1-0.

Trailing against PSG and Manchester City, Real Madrid staged remarkable fight-backs in a matter of minutes to change the direction of both ties. In the quarter-finals, Chelsea had threatened to do what the hosts had done to PSG, but a Rodrygo and Karim Benzema rescue act stopped the English giants in their tracks, with the Spanish club advancing 5-4 on aggregate.
