If God Played Football He'd be Modric - The Luka Godric Worship Thread

Don't think that's Vasquez's fault... nor are the situations fundamentally comparable. Vasquez always got the short end of the stick (unfairly) from the fanbase because he was a back-up player. He was poor but so was the whole team. Modric was, on the balance, the best midfielder this season in spite of coming into the season of rhythm and having to fight his way back onto the squad.

 

Sad day .... just thank you

Carvajal:
Contract expires:June 30, 2026

 

As somebody who's a Croat and from Bosnia and Herzegovina, just like Modrić, made me absolutely proud and privileged to have him represent my favorite club for so long.

 

Insane pic. Before & After

 

I’m still trying to process this...

He became my favourite player very quickly, a maestro, a magician, a genius on the field. Even when MARCA’s poll called him the “worst signing of the season” in 2012.

Thirteen seasons, 28 trophies, 6 Champions Leagues, 4 Ligas and a Ballon d’Or.

Feels like it all flew by. From “flop” to forever legend.

Gracias, Lukita. Thanks for every bit of joy.

 

I remember I was in Madrid at the stadium during the 2014 CL final watching the game on a screen. We’re down 1-0 to Atletico in the 93rd minute and I am desolate.

The guy next to me was from Miami. He turned to me and said “Don’t worry dude, we didn’t travel all this way to Madrid to see our team lose…” and then Modric goes to take a corner kick…

In the resulting bedlam someone stole my then girlfriend’s phone but we didn’t care. La Decima was here after a 12 year wait. Cibeles was calling and that night is one of my most cherished memories.

Thank you for everything Luka, by far my favourite player to watch. The world of football won’t be the same without you. Our most decorated player ever.

 

Luka Modric did everything he could to convince Real Madrid to let him stay: He offered to lower his salary, He accepted a bench role, He let the club take their time and make a decision when they want. The club, in the end, decided not to offer him a new deal. He waited until the end for Madrid.

Damn, thank you legend! Glad he gets a proper send off, he’s one of those players I’ll yap on about when I’m an old man.

Time to grab his shirt, was a pleasure watching you at your craft sir… if you love the game you love Luka!

 

He is one of the greatest players I’ve ever seen.

I have been banging on about this for a while, but for me, in a 433, my all time greatest midfielders are Maradona as 10 and Modric as 8, in front of a defensive midfielder who I can’t decide on.

The guy had absolutely everything. Unselfish, great work ethic defensively and offensively, great temperament, all the technical skills, all the mental skills. At his peak, you give him the ball in any situation and he would make the right play every time.

Just a great, great player.

Yea I agree. I was hoping he'd make the decision for himself though as its always sad when a legend is basically told to leave by not being given a contract.

I will never forget how unfair La liga and the fans were on Luka.. then this happened

 

One of the most complete midfielders of our generation; gave us over a decade of delight with goals, assists, dribbles and tackles. He was immense and absolute gem in midfield, but best of all he was a complete gentleman off of it.

Well will never forget you; forever legend!

PS: I really hope he becomes an ambassador or coach for the team; I think he can totally contribute to the team off of it.

 

That would mean he would be given a token contract offer. No thanks. I would rather the team give him a serious offer and Modric walks away knowing he could still play.

Thank you to one of the greatest midfielders of all time!
