Luka Modric is having a difficult year. So valuable for many years, the midfielder has gradually been demoted in the hierarchy at Real Madrid. Victim of competition and the emergence of Tchouaméni or Camavinga, the Croatian international most often starts matches on the substitutes’ bench. A difficult situation to accept for the 2018 Ballon d’Or, at the end of his contract at the end of the season.
Ancelotti “touched” by Modric situation
Asked about this at a press conference, Carlo Ancelotti underlined the importance of Modric, while admitting that it was difficult to leave him on the bench: “It’s very difficult to leave such a legend on the bench. I can only say thank you Luka for everything he did during my stay here. I am really touched by this. It’s so difficult.” Modric’s experience should nevertheless be valuable in the final months of the season, before considering leaving at the end of his career next June.
