Lunin bids a touching farewell to legendary Modric, who leaves Real.
Luka Modric will leave Madrid's 'Real'
After the end of this season, Croatian midfielder Luka Modric will leave Madrid's 'Real'. This was reported by the club's official pages on social media, according to 'Glavkom'.
Ukrainian goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, from the 'royal club', reacted emotionally to this news.
«It is a very sad day... How hard it is to say goodbye. What an incredible career, what an exemplary person! Luka, it is a great honor for me - to know you and play with you. Thank you for your magic, support, advice, and everything you have done for football», - Lunin wrote on Instagram.
Modric joined 'Real' in 2012, moving from English 'Tottenham'. Over 12 years with the Madrid giant, he played 590 matches, scored 43 goals, and provided 95 assists.
During this time, Luka has become one of the most successful players in the club's history. His achievements include:
- four La Liga championships
- two Copa del Rey titles
- five Spanish Supercups
- six Champions League trophies
- four UEFA Super Cups
- five FIFA Club World Cup victories
- one FIFA Intercontinental Cup
In 2018, Modric was recognized as the best football player on the planet and received the 'Ballon d'Or', breaking the dominance of Messi and Ronaldo.
London's 'Tottenham' became the winner of the UEFA Europa League for the 2024/25 season, defeating 'Manchester United' in the final.
The final turned out to be decisive for both teams, which did not impress in the English Premier League. The opponents acted cautiously, and the match between the 'Spurs' and the 'Red Devils' ended with a score of 1:0 in favor of 'Tottenham'.
Luka Modric's departure from 'Real' closes an impressive career for the player at the Madrid club and opens new opportunities for further success in his career.
