De Bruyne asked for Modric’s jersey, the Croatian legend delivered it

Following the game, Kevin De Bruyne, the other team’s legendary player, had a brief conversation with one of Real Madrid’s greatest midfielders ever captured on camera. In the first leg of Real Madrid vs. Manchester City in the Champions League quarterfinal, Lluka Modric played the final 20 minutes. In the 72nd minute, Toni Kroos was taken off the field by Real Madrid legend and captain of the Croatian national team. It ended with the visiting English team winning 3:2.

Modric was able to strike three of the four long balls, win both of his aerial and ground duel victories, and hit the ball 21 times out of 24 attempts in a relatively short period of time. Due to stomach issues, De Bruyne, who is regarded by many as the best midfield player in the world right now, was unable to play in yesterday’s match. According to the English media, he said Modriq farewell after that and requested his shirt. Real Madrid’s Croatian midfielder got his wish granted.
