Croatia captain Luka Modric sees similarities between the national team and his club Real Madrid.
Qatar World Cup 2022 Match Schedule
In the Qatar World Cup quarterfinals against Brazil, Croatia conceded a goal from Neymar in the 106th minute, but Bruno Petkovic scored the equalizer in the 117th minute to make it 1-1 and send the match to penalties. This dramatic victory was reminiscent of Real Madrid, where Modric, like Croatia, wears No. 10.
Real Madrid, one of the most prestigious football clubs in the world, is known for its dramatic ties and victories because of its never-give-up attitude until the very end. Last season in the Champions League, Real Madrid won the tournament in dramatic fashion in the first round against Paris Saint-Germain, the quarterfinals against Chelsea, and the semifinals against Manchester City, and they also beat Liverpool in the final to win the tournament for the 14th time in their history.
Modric feels that Real Madrid and Croatia have something in common mentally. In an interview with Spain’s Ciringuito, he asked, “Does this Croatia have Real Madrid’s DNA? Because this Croatia will also suffer until the end,” he replied as follows.
No doubt. I can say yes. Madrid is the same way, always fighting until the end and never giving up. It’s the same thing.
Croatia will face Argentina in the World Cup semifinals on December 13. Can they use their unyielding spirit to beat the South American powerhouse that is Lionel Messi?
