Luka Modric brought his time at Real Madrid to an end with a 4-0 defeat in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup against PSG. The Croatian played for the last time in the white shirt, with which he has played a total of 597 matches.
Modric’s time at Real Madrid came to an end. The Croatian midfielder, an eminent figure in the ‘Merengue’ team, played his last match in the white jersey in the defeat of his team against PSG in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup (4-0).
The Croatian player came onto the pitch with the match already settled, as the Parisian side had already dominated the game in the first 24 minutes. Luka came on in the 64th minute and had little impact on the game.
Madrid could not change their fate and were eliminated on the brink of the final. It confirmed the farewell of Modric, who said goodbye to each and every one of his teammates. His departure was already known since the end of the league season and he leaves behind an indelible legacy: 28 titles, the club’s most decorated player, 597 games, 43 goals and 91 assists in 13 seasons.
His future lies in Milan. The Croatian, already with the letter of freedom, will travel to the Italian city to close his contract with the ‘Rossoneri’. Allegri has already anticipated his arrival and the player is expected to join in August. His goal is to be at the 2026 World Cup.
Another of those who played his last game for Real Madrid was Lucas Vazquez. The Galician, who had only played 25 minutes in this Club World Cup, played the final stretch of the match against PSG and ended his spell at Real Madrid after so many years of service. He leaves the club with no fixed destination.
