The story
Modrić,
on record.
He grew up sheltering from war in a hotel basement. He won the Ballon d'Or at 33. He carried Croatia to a World Cup final, a third-place finish, a Nations League final. In 2026, at 40, Luka Modrić plays his fourth World Cup. The story doesn't need an embellishment.
“I just play until I can't.”
— Modrić
