#3 Toni Kroos and Luka Modric run the show from midfield
As Casemiro was rested before the PSG clash, Kroos and Modric were left to pull the strings from midfield. The two midfield maestros were in zen mode as they got through the night with characteristic ease and grace.
The two complemented each other admirably on the night as they managed their defensive and attacking duties in tandem.
Toni Kroos had an excellent game and finished off sublimely from a Lucas Vazquez cut back to increase Madrid's lead to 3 goals.
Modric was composed in the heart of midfield and even played Ronaldo in on goal with an incisive through ball that cut through the heart of La Real's defence.
Their withdrawal in the second half saw Madrid relinquishing control of the game. The match stands as a testament to the class of the 2 midfielders and how important they will be in the Champions League, especially in their upcoming match against Paris Saint-Germain.
