Luka Modric admits he's missed Sergio Ramos at Real Madrid.

Ramos left Real last summer for PSG.

"All the departures of players with whom you share a very successful era are painful, for everyone," Modric said.

"After nine years Sergi was gone, from the first day he was close to me, he helped me adapt to Real Madrid, he encouraged me and believed in my potential.

"We became great friends, our families got together and we spent summers together, we still talk to each other every day, at least through messages, I miss hanging out with him but that's the way it is in football."
