Luka Modric officially closes the final chapter of his career at Real Madrid. |
Immediately after returning to Valdebebas with his teammates from the FIFA Club World Cup – Modric’s last tournament in the white shirt – the Croatian star approached Guler, hugged his junior and gave him a special gift. The shirt is not simply a souvenir, but a symbol of the legacy that the Croatian midfielder has left for more than a decade at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The image is reminiscent of the moment when Toni Kroos handed the No. 8 shirt to Fede Valverde last season - a solemn gesture from a senior to his successor. If Kroos has placed his trust in Valverde, Modric seems to be placing similar expectations on Arda Guler - the most highly rated young talent in Turkish football today.
After more than 10 years of dedication, Luka Modric will move to AC Milan, ending an unforgettable journey at Real Madrid with a series of big and small titles, culminating in five Champions League titles and many memorable moments. At the age of 39, Modric leaves as a living legend, a monument of dedication, sophistication and rare class in the midfield.
In his farewell, Modric did not forget to express his gratitude: "Florentino (Perez) always treated me differently, he had a special affection for me" . A relationship that was not simply that of player and president, but the bond of two people who together built a golden era for the greatest football team in the world .
Real Madrid, after parting ways with Kroos and now Modric, are facing a difficult task of filling the void in the midfield. But while fans are still regretting, the hug between Modric and Guler evokes a new belief: a new chapter is about to open, where legacies are passed on not by words, but by actions - by the last shirt, and a silent but meaningful hug.
