Luka Modrić (38) will play on June 1 at Wembley for the sixth time in the final of the Champions League and look for the sixth trophy to be won, and the Spanish media compete in eulogizing the Croatian grandmaster who was one of the key players of the turnaround. of the royal club” in the end of the second leg of the semi-final against Bayern. Especially impressive was his sprint in the 85th minute, which stopped the Germans’ zicer, and moreć in the next minute, Real equalized.
“Luka Modrić is old. On his identity card it says 38 years old, but that is an unfair statement for the player who, despite the undeservedly small minutes of Ancelotti, continues to show all the splendor of his talent. Age takes its toll on his physical structure and strength in duels, but his effort is worthy of all praise. There is no physical effort that the white ten does not have in his showcase full of titles, the Croat is the type of leader that everyone should learn from,” writes reporter Marce for Real Madrid Joel del Río.
He recalled that in the trophy-winning year of 2018, when he broke the duopoly of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo by winning the Ballon d’Or, he said that no one gave him anything and that he achieved everything through hard work.
The move as a fuse for White’s mobilization
“If Modri wants to continue playing and enjoying football, he will help his colleagues. Now few or no one will sit by his running and stealing the ball to Musiali on the edge of the sixteenth-yard box when he was one-on-one against Lunin. That action could have confirmed Real’s relegation, but it was the fuse that ignited the mobilization of the whites,” added journalist Marce.
Luka has had similar defensive interventions in Real before, and one of his fans will never forget: when he raised the stands and masterfully slipped Lionel Messi in the round of 16 against PSG in 2021/22.
“The Madrid ten never get tired of spreading their legend”, concludes the Marce reporter.
