Video shows Luka Modric silenced his teammates after being mock for miscontrolling the ball ahead of the El Clasico.
After his Real Madrid teammates made fun of him for mishandling the ball, Luka Modric firmly hushed them.
On Sunday, Real will play host to Barcelona in the first El Clasico of the season. Both teams are unbeaten and currently hold the top two spots in La Liga after accumulating 22 points through their first eight games.
Following the dramatic Champions League draw between Real Madrid and Shakhtar Donetsk, in which Antonio Rudiger’s equalizer ensured Real’s advancement to the round of 16, Los Blancos have been training diligently in preparation for the crucial match.
In a video of players participating in a shooting practice that was shared on Twitter by the official Real Madrid account, Modric can be seen being booed and then cheered within a matter of seconds.

Modric’s touch was unusually clumsy when the ball was fizzed into him, and it evaded him.
His coworkers initially gasped and laughed, but they quickly altered their tone.
After a few kicks up, Modric displayed a tremendous comeback and unleashed an incredible volley on the turn.
Andrey Lunin in goal had no chance at all as the ball slid into the top corner thanks to an amazing effort.
Loud applause greeted Modric’s goal, as Rodrygo Gomes carried him in joy.
Real supporters compared the now 37-year-old Modric to Benjamin Button and called him “Mago” and a “crack,” which essentially signifies a great player.
The former Tottenham midfielder’s contract at the Santiago Bernabeu was set to end in the summer, but he signed a fresh agreement and is still in action.
He has also garnered praise from the opposing team’s fans, notably a standing ovation from Celtic supporters for his performance at Parkhead in his 100th Champions League game.
