The Frenchman was defended by Blancos' supremo as the greatest player at his post in the world while he was downplaying speculations on transfers.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez said the club did not need to sign a new first-choice striker because he already had the world's best number nine, Karim Benzema.
The French international and World Cup winner has sometimes gone bad this season for Los Blancos, but he seems to have regained his pace as the second half of the campaign continues.
The La Liga formation was tied to several high-profile trades for the strikers during the January transfer, with the name of Tottenham's captain and England's Harry Kane being thrown several times.

However, in an interview with France Football, Perez poured cold water on rumors that a new striker would have arrived at Santiago Bernabeu, pointing out that he already thought that Madrid had the best team in the world.
"I insist that we have the best team in the world and that the titles support us in this respect," he said.
"We will not spend to spend, for example.
"For years, I've read and heard in some media that Madrid had to sign an attacker while the reality clearly shows that Karim Benzema is the best striker in the world.
"What we do, in any case, is to invite very young players who will be the stars of the future, such as Vinicius [Junior] or Rodrygo [Goes], who was a candidate for the Kopa trophy. "
After the triumph of Luka Modric's Golden Ball in 2018, Perez emphasized the club's dominance of the prize, a guarantee of its quality and heritage, as well as Croatian ethics.
"The Madrid players have been rewarded with the last three Golden Balloons," he added.
"We are very happy for Modric as football and what he represents is part of our legend.

"It represents our values and I am sure that the young people who will be at Real Madrid will be strong candidates in the future.
"Our goal is to be the best, because this club must live up to its history and we play every game to win and never give up."
Madrid will travel to Ajax next week for the first leg of the next round of the Champions League.
