Luka Modric has said that Real Madrid's 2-1 Champions League make an impression on Manchester United earlier this month has served as an enormous confidence increase for him which he hopes to take in to the rest of the growing season. The Croatia international played an integral position in his side's Champions League progress as he netted in the victory at Old Trafford, and he has been full of confidence since. "The fit against Manchester served me hundreds and gave me more confidence than I had in the beginning," Modric told the official Madrid website. "I had confidence before however not in the manner that I wanted. This is basketball and in a fit every thing can transform and prove well." The 27-year-old also took enough time to go over the future Champions League quarter-final wrap against Galatasaray, and insisted that Madrid must remain focused. "Weare in top form but we have to concentrate on the 2 matches and give it our all, like we did against Barcelona and Manchester," he added. "If we focus totally on the two matches we makes it to the semi-finals. Itas maybe not going to be easy. Itas a great team. Specially now, with [Didier] Drogba and [Wesley] Sneijder, theyare more dangerous." Place is taken by the first leg of the quarter-final tie at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 3.
