Josko Gvardiol is eagerly anticipating the opportunity to join Luka Modric in his final moments with the Croatian national team this summer. However, before that, he aims to crush Modric’s aspirations of securing another Champions League title.
Luka Modric, who is 38 years old, is set to retire from international football following Euro 2024 in Germany. Additionally, he is likely to depart from Real Madrid at the conclusion of the season, with Dinamo Zagreb showing interest in acquiring him.
Over his 12-year tenure at the Bernabeu, the former Tottenham player has claimed the prestigious UEFA Champions League trophy FIVE times. He is determined to add one more to his collection, ideally at Wembley on June 1, before bidding farewell to his illustrious career.
Gvardiol expressed:
“There is no need for me to elaborate on his qualities since we are all aware of them. However, he is not only a great player but also a remarkable individual and a captain on the field. This upcoming Euros will mark his final appearance, concluding his time with the national team.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to play alongside him and share a dressing room. I intend to cherish these final moments with Luka. Moreover, it is quite enjoyable to compete against national team colleagues while representing your club.”
