Real Madrid superstar Luka Modric has said that the 2022 FIFA World Cup will be his last international competition for Croatia. One of the finest midfielders in the history of the game is Modric, who turned 37 in September.
Luka Modric led his nation to their first-ever FIFA World Cup final, where they ultimately fell to France 4-2. With two goals and an assist in his final game, Modric earned the FIFA World Cup Golden Ball. Modric won the Ballon d’Or in 2018 as a result of his outstanding performances for Croatia at the FIFA World Cup and Real Madrid’s Champions League victory in 2017–18.
Modric has not demonstrated any signs of slowing down despite being squarely on the wrong side of 30. But Modric revealed that his time playing for Croatia was almost up in a FIFA+ interview.
Luka Modric said: “I am aware that I am of a certain age and that this is my last competition in the Croatian National team.”
