Luka Modrić may be 36 years old, but he’s still playing ball like a little kid in the selo.
Wednesday night in Madrid, Modrić had a career game and one that Madridistas (and Croatians) will remember for years. He singlehandedly put Real Madrid on his back with the aggregate-tying goal, shredding through the entire PSG midfield before laying off a perfect ‘nutmeg’ assist to Benzema in the box.
Let me just leave the following stats for you…for perspective. And when I say perspective, I’m talking about Modrić’s all-time greatness:
On top of that, look how Modrić celebrated after the 3-1 win over PSG to book a spot in the Champions League quarterfinals. And remember, Modrić has already won four Champions League titles with Real Madrid.
He celebrated like a kid. He congratulated every teammate and member of the Real Madrid staff. He showed absolute class to nth degree.
How can you not love Luka Modrić?
I don’t get it. So being better than other greats at 36 makes him the best or better than those greats ? Is that what’s happening here ?
No. But we’re adding Modric’s play at 36 years old to his already all-time greatness. Those players on the list weren’t able to add to their already legendary careers. You know why? Because they stopped playing at the top level. Could Iniesta have played another season or two at Barca? Of course. But he went to Japan instead. Who in Europe cared about him after that move? Did you?
re: Modric: It doesn’t hurt that there’s only one other Ballon d’OR winner on that list either. Ay?
Who was the idiot on here who called him a bust at Real?
I said he “played like a bust” ziva istina
To be honest he was just quoting Spanish media
I’m sure if you go back there is all sorts of trashing articles
But seems like we just ran on the bust thing tho
Seems to be a running joke for well years now
To think the cost of players now
Luka is probably like the average cost of what a mid range guy now?
I guess he was fairly expensive at the time but compared to now he was basically a free transfer;)
Yeah but I think he kept bringing up the perjury thing too.
Similar to that idiot Holiga, trying to create a divide and was perfectly fine with people turning on Modrić.
