There was little doubt, but Luka Modric has won over Milan! Leadership, a noble calm, and exceptional quality. Despite a recent period of normal, human physical decline, Modric remains an indispensable figure for Massimiliano Allegri’s Milan.
Even at 40, Luka Modric is one of the pillars of Allegri’s Milan. There is a noticeable difference between the team with and without the Croatian on the field. This is evident not only in Milan’s high points-per-game average when the former Real Madrid star plays (around 2.50) but also in the fact that the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner is a true talisman for this team. When Allegri has started Modric from the first minute, Milan has lost only once, against Cremonese on the opening day of the season. Otherwise, it’s been all wins and draws. However, when the ex Juventus coach decided not to start him, Milan suffered two defeats, both in cup competitions, against Lazio in the Coppa Italia and Napoli in the Supercoppa, as relayed via Milannews.it.
This season’s numbers show a 40-year-old who has scored one goal and provided two assists so far, but above all, who continues to display immense class. Pure artistry, Luka Modric.
