Luka showed it in the match against Manchester City. He didn’t play much, he even missed a penalty in the shootout, but with Real he celebrated entering the new semi-finals of the Champions League.

What Luka will decide, we will find out in the summer. Dinamo is calling, MLS and Saudi clubs are looking for him, but if the ‘royal club’ wants him to stay…
