After thirteen seasons at Casa Blanca, the Croatian international made goodbye to the Whiteos during a semi-final of the Blear Clubs World Cup, and is now preparing to take up a new challenge on the other side of the Alps.
This Wednesday, Luka Modric played his last match in the colors of Real Madrid, against Paris Saint-Germain (4-0) in the semi-final of the Club World Cup. The Croatian midfielder, who came into play in the second half, played 27 minutes for his ultimate appearance, closing his adventure with the Merengue, started in August 2012.
After the elimination of the vice-champions of Spain, the Madrid coach Xabi Alonso mentioned the case of his captain, whose contract comes to an end at the end of the competition. He took the opportunity to pay tribute to him, despite an end that he would have liked more beautiful for the 2018 Golden Ball.
“It's a world football legend”
“It is not the end I wanted for him, it is a bit bitter end. It is a legend of world football, Real Madrid. We had the pleasure and the honor of being by his side on the field. We will remember him for many more good things than the 25 minutes of this match ”, said the Basque technician in front of the press.
Modric is now expected at AC Milan. He will commit to the Rossoneri for a season, with an optional additional year, until June 2027.
