By Katie Catherall Luka Modric shared an emotional exchange with a journalist following Croatia's 1-1 draw with Italy, during which he was labelled as 'one of the finest players' in the game. Italy's 98th-minute equaliser secured the defending champions a place in the round of 16, but it was an earlier goal from Real Madrid legend Modric that made headlines after the dramatic Euro 2024 fixture. Modric recovered quickly from seeing his penalty kick saved, firing a powerful shot into the back of the net to offer Croatia a chance at progression in the tournament. While his efforts were later null...

By Sean Walsh "Football was merciless, football was cruel," was Luka Modric's main takeaway from Croatia's 1-1 draw with Italy on Monday night. It seemed for all the world that Croatia had done enough to secure their place in the last 16 of Euro 2024, despite opening the tournament with two subpar performances and results - a 3-0 hammering by Spain, followed by a 2-2 draw with Albania. Modric went from zero to hero within the span of 57 seconds early in the second half. His woeful penalty was shoved aside by Gianluigi Donnarumma, only to turn in the rebound as the Italy goalkeeper saved from C...

By Sean Walsh Luka Modric bemoaned that football is 'merciless and cruel' after Croatia's 1-1 draw with Italy left them on the brink of Euro 2024 elimination. Croatia have taken only two points from their group stage games and are in need of a minor miracle to secure a spot in the last 16. They finished third in Group C and need England to beat Slovenia by at least three goals on Tuesday to stand a chance of ranking among the four best third-place teams which would see them through to the knockout stage. Modric scored the opening goal of Croatia's matchday three encounter with Italy, but they ...

By Katie Catherall Luka Modric will become Real Madrid's captain next season as the club prepare to move on without Nacho Fernandez, reports in Spain claim. Nacho, who is representing Spain at Euro 2024, is expected to join Saudi Arabian side Al Qadsiah following the expiry of his Santiago Bernabeu contract after deciding to pursue a new challenge. The 34-year-old lifted the La Liga title last season and helped Madrid claim a record-extending 15th Champions League crown, and his impending departure will end a 23-year association with the club that has seen him play over 350 times in all compet...

By Amanda Langell Although they rarely get the credit and spotlight forwards receive, midfielders are often at the center of game-winning plays in soccer. Soccer is truly a team sport. Each team fields 11 players that all must execute their own position-specific duties while also working together to defend and attack. Some roles on the pitch are easy to understand; goalkeepers must prevent the other team from scoring while a forward aims to net goals. Midfielders, though, do so much work in the middle of the field that summarizing their impact often does not do them justice. Fortunately, socce...

By Katie Catherall Luka Modric will remain at Real Madrid until 2025 after signing a new one-year contract with the Spanish giants, according to reports. The 38-year-old has taken a back seat in recent seasons to allow fresh talent to blossom and his contract was set to expire at the end of June. However, his time at the Bernabeu is not yet over with a new deal set to see him sport Madrid colours for at least another year. The Athletic claim Modric has already agreed a one-year contract with Los Blancos and the extension will see him take a lower salary as he steps back into a secondary role a...

By Jamie Spencer Real Madrid star Luka Modric has paid tribute to longstanding midfield partner Toni Kroos following the German's decision to retire after Euro 2024 this summer. Kroos will call time on his glittering career at the relatively young age of 34, having dominated at club level with five Champions League titles and also getting his hands on the World Cup in 2014. He has just two more games with Madrid ahead of him as the club wraps up in La Liga against Real Betis on Saturday night, before contesting the Champions League final against Borussia Dortmund. Kroos’ career will then be at...

By Jude Summerfield Luka Modric is set to join fellow Real Madrid veteran Toni Kroos in extending his contract with the club for another season, according to reports. Manager Carlo Ancelotti is bringing through a new generation of midfielders at the Bernabeu including Jude Bellingham, Federico Valverde, Eduardo Camavinga and Aurelien Tchouameni. With the future in mind, both Kroos and Modric looked likely to bring their trophy-laden spells in the Spanish capital to a close at the end of the 2023/24 season. However, news of Kroos sticking around for another year broke in late March \- though no...

By Tom Gott The agent of Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric expects a decision on the veteran's future to be made in the coming days. Modric is approaching the end of his Madrid contract and, earlier this season, he was widely expected to walk away on a free transfer after losing his regular spot in Carlo Ancelotti's starting lineup. The 38-year-old has, however, seen his minutes increased in recent weeks, opening the door to a potential extension with a series of impressive performances. Reports in Spain suggested on Saturday that Modric had rejected the chance to sign an extension with Madri...

By Sean Walsh Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is planning to hold talks with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric to decide on their respective futures in the coming weeks, a report claims. Both Kroos and Modric are out of contract this summer and could walk away from Madrid for nothing at the end of June. The legendary duo have been on rolling one-year contracts and though they agreed to renewals in May last year, MARCA write they are increasingly unlikely to decide on their next move until closer to the expiration of their current deals. Madrid have been planning their squad for the 2024/25 sea...
