2019Croatian Sport - Luka Modric - Set

It was the night between 26 and 27 May 2018. A few hours earlier, Real Madrid won its 13thChampions League title in Kiev. Third time in a row, third time in a row in which the incredible Croatian playmaker kept the team's game under control. This was the fourth time Luka Modrić had won the Champions League with the Royal Club and he matched the number of titles won by Barcelona’s legends Lionel Messi, Xavier Hernández, Andrés Iniesta... The final against Liverpool, held in the Ukrainian capital, led Modrić to the 20thclub trophy of his rich career, and he and other Real players gave themselves over to celebrating in the locker room. After an extremely demanding and successful season, it would be logical to turn one's thoughts to a celebration in Madrid followed by some well-earned rest. But, that night in Kiev, Modrić once again showed that he was special.
