Luka Modrić, on the occasion of the release of the announcement about the arrival of the Ballon d’Or at the Rossoneri museum, also shared some statements that reflect his deep bond with Milan and its colors. The Croatian’s words:
"When the club first told me about this idea, I had no doubts about it at all: from the very first day I arrived here, I felt great and loved by all the fans."

"This is a very small gesture to give something back for all the affection I have received since the day I arrived at Milan."
Milan has set up a display with photos and statements that trace Modrić’s career, in particular a childhood photo of him wearing a Rossoneri tracksuit:
"It’s wonderful to see this photo. It brings back so many memories because when I was a child, I was a big Milan fan. Now, thirty years later, playing for this great club is truly wonderful, a dream come true. I didn’t expect this to happen, but in the end, things come when you least expect them. I’ve fulfilled this dream and I’ve been enjoying it since day one. I am truly grateful for everything the club and the fans have given me from the very beginning," as relayed via Milan News.
