‘Form is temporary, but class is eternal,’ they say. It’s a quote attributed to Liverpool legend Bill Shankly, and it certainly describes Modric right now.
Modric made his professional debut with Dinamo Zagreb in his native Croatia in the mid-2000s before moving on to the European big leagues. He joined Tottenham Hotspur in the 2008-09 season. Over the next four seasons, he made a name for himself as one of Spurs’ starting midfielders.
As he entered his prime, Modric attracted interest from Real Madrid, one of the best clubs in the world. Modric’s passing ability, ability to orchestrate the game, and ability to break up play were all world-class. Along with Casemiro and Toni Kroos, he formed the Camo line that made Real one of the most dominant teams in Europe.
He spent 12 years with Real, from the 2012-13 season to this season, and won numerous trophies. He has won five UEFA Champions League titles, four La Liga titles, and four UEFA Super Cups. In 2018, he was awarded the Ballon d’Or, an honor reserved for the world’s best player.
Modric is already a Real legend. Born in 1985, he”s approaching the inevitable age of 40. However, he”s not leaving Real. According to Fabrizio 토토사이트 Romano, a journalist who specializes in the European transfer market, Modric will stay with the club next season.
It’s an interesting situation. Global media outlet ESPN reminds us that Modric is the only Ballon d’Or winner currently playing on the European stage. Class is forever.” Since 2008, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, and Modric have won the Ballon d’Or. Ronaldo and Messi dominated the award for a while, before Modric (2018) and Benzema (2022) won it once each.
Ronaldo currently plays for Al Nasr in the Saudi Professional League (SPL). Benzema plays for Al Ittihad in the same league, while Messi left for Inter Miami in the American Major League Soccer (MLS). Ronaldo (born in 1985), Messi, and Benzema (born at least 1987) are all the same age as Modric, but as the media notes, only Modric remains in Europe. And at the best club in Europe, Real.
