Ghana's leading all-time top scorer Asamoah Gyan has made a comparison between Luka Modric's delicious assist in Real Madrid's quarterfinal encounter against Chelsea to Kwadwo Asamoah's similar effort in 2014.

Asamoah Gyan drew the comparison between the two following Modric's masterclass which has left the football world drooling over his technique.

Modric used the outside of his right boot to hit an almost 30-yard pass onto the feet of Rodrygo, who guided the ball into the net. His jaw-dropping pass caught the Chelsea defence ball watching.
