At almost 40 years of age, Luka Modric continues to dazzle the Santiago Bernabéu pitch with his plays, now also wearing the captain's armband. Compared to the past, his playing time has inevitably decreased, but his class and experience never fade.
Over the weekend, he scored a stunning goal from outside the box in the home league match against Girona, which ended in a 2-0 victory thanks to a late second goal by Vinicius Jr, as relayed via Milannews.it.
In the post-match press conference, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti praised Luka Modric’s endless talent, comparing him to another champion he both coached and played with at Milan, the legendary number 3 Paolo Maldini.
Here are Ancelotti's words:
"Luka Modric is a gift to football. I had another 40-year-old player, Paolo Maldini. Two players who embody everything a footballer should be."
