    One of his greatest moment as a Real Madrid player was not in a Real Madrid uniform. This showed why he was a leader in our team. Sadly, i had to use "was".... instead of "is".

    What got to me was that Luka hugged each and every person he could yesterday. Nobody in and around the team was too big or too small for attention from him. Then he walked around the pitch a couple of times over to applaud and wave at as many fans as he could. Once with his family, then with Ancelotti, then at the end after interviews when only a few supporters remained in the stadium. It reminds me of the story of when Michael Essien (who was on loan from Chelsea during Mourinho's tenure) had invited the team to his birthday party. The only ones who showed up were Ricardo Carvalho and Luka Modric.

    The man has a big heart, and it didn't take much to see that. He is class exemplified, humble, selfless, industrious, elegant, and graceful. You can easily run out of adjectives. You would be hard pressed to find anybody, whether they are a Madridista, a neutral or even a fan of a rival who cannot appreciate Luka Modric. He came from a humble background of growing up in a wartorn Croatia to becoming one of the greatest footballers the world has had the privilege to witness.

    Man, they don't make em like this anymore...

    This is a guy who was questioned as a leader by some not too long ago..

    Anyways, the greatest midfielder in our history and somehow an even greater character and person.

    Disappointed Zidane wasn’t at the game, for both Carlo and Luka.

    Didn't think about that but I'm not surprised, Zizou just doesn't seem to be very public.

    I remember when Kovacic was signed to be the next Modric and I checked and he’s 31. No wonder why he left!

    It turned out that Modrić was the next Modrić.

    Alpine sponsorship requirement - likely determined months in advance.

    God I'm going to miss Luka. An absolute gem, and the glorious era we have lived through has come to a close.

    Laying in bed late at night and reminiscing the calibre of player we had for the past decade. Simply Untouchable.

    While Luka is well-respected by fans, he does not earn the same respects from Nike. I never saw him in any of those Nike campaign. The 2018 World Cup Golden Ball winner did not feature in the 2022 campaign. Modric would lead Croatia to the semifinal of the 2022 World Cup.

    Real Madrid strongly opposed big commercial campaigns by rival brands for the players.

    Camavinga actually got himself in a world of trouble because he didn't ask before he brought Nike sunglasses into the dressing room.
