Modric revels in winning start

Luka Modric was delighted after his Real Madrid debut ended with his side lifting the Supercopa after a 2-1 victory over Barcelona.

The Croatia playmaker, a summer signing from Tottenham, took to the field for the first time at the Bernabeu when he replaced Mesut Ozil in the 83rd minute of Wednesday night's second leg as the tie finished 4-4 and Real won on away goals.

"I am very happy," Modric told AS. "It could not have started any better."
