Luka Modrić got another important honor prior to Croatia’s League of Nations match against Portugal, demonstrating his true popularity among the Croatian populace.

Age is only a number to Modrić, and it manifests itself in every game. He can play two really physically taxing matches in a few days, despite the fact that there are 39 of them.

He led the Flames against the Scots at Hampden Park on Friday night, and on Monday, he will run onto the Poljuda field while wearing the captain’s armband.

Modrić received a new honor at the pregame news conference, as he was chosen the 2024 best Croatian player.

This is very meaningful to me because it comes from a fan, and receiving anything like that from a fan is always a unique delight. I sincerely appreciate it, and it’s always a bit different.

Modrić also received a check for 10,000 euros on that day, and it has already been determined that the money would go to a charity that the Real star has selected.
