Modric history, a broken roof, Croatia and the goals of his children at the Bernabéu
On September 9,
Luka Modric
(Zadar, 1985) will celebrate his 37th birthday in the sports city of
Valdebebas
, the tenth in a row wearing the
Real Madrid
shirt , which today announced the renewal of the Croat's contract until June
30, 2023
.
It was an open secret for months and it only remained to wait for the end of the season to make it official.
The
one-year extension
of Chamartín's '10' contract has materialized after a sensational season, one of the best in Modric's career.
He has appeared in
45 games
and has racked up
three goals and twelve assists
, the latter being his best assists since his last season at
Dinamo Zagreb
.
Modric went to Valdebebas this Wednesday morning to stamp his signature on the contract and to be photographed with
Florentino Pérez
before returning to the concentration of his team, which played against
France
on Monday and this Friday faces
Denmark
in a key game for the future of the Balkan team in the
UEFA Nations League
.
This Friday will be Modric's penultimate match of the season, which will put the
finishing touch
on next Monday, again against France.
There he will face
Karim Benzema
again , a partner on a dream trip to the
League, the Champions League
(his fifth
orejona
of his) and the
European Super Cup
.
In all three titles the Croatian has been essential.
In the domestic championship he has added
28 games
, 25 of them as a starter, has scored two goals and has distributed eight assists.
In the European Cup, he has been the axis of the comebacks against
PSG
,
Chelsea
and
City
, giving three goal passes in the qualifiers.
In the
Arabian Super Cup
, for his part, he scored the winning goal in the final against
Athletic
.
In total, at
36 years old
, he was the sixth outfield player with the most minutes (3,435), behind
Militao, Vinicius, Alaba, Benzema and Casemiro
.
A statistical barbarity that has convinced (in case it was necessary) Madrid to extend its agreement with a footballer who is already a legend at the
Santiago Bernabéu
.
"
Very happy
to continue at Real Madrid and continue wearing this shirt. I have the
same enthusiasm and desire
to continue giving everything and winning trophies. Thank you very much for your love and Hala Madrid", declared the player.
