JAKARTA Luka Modric confirmed Qatar's 2022 World Cup which will start next month will be his last international tournament with the Croatian national team.
The 37-year-old has not shown any signs of slowing down. However, in an interview with FIFA+ recently he admitted he was no longer young to appear on the international stage.
"I am aware that I am at a certain age and this is my last competition in the Croatian national team," said the midfielder who is currently defending Real Madrid, quoted Wednesday.
During his career in football, Modric completely strengthened Croatia in three World Cup tournaments, respectively in 2006, 2014, and 2018. In that time he also managed to score two goals.
Overall, he played 154 games for Croatia, scored 23 goals and made 24 assists. At club level, he made 14 appearances for Real Madrid this season in various competitions, scored three goals and scored two assists.
Despite being at the end of his professional career, Modric is still considered one of the greatest midfielders in the world today. He is an important part of the Croatian national team that reached the 2018 World Cup final in Russia.
Unfortunately at that time, Croatia surrendered 2-4 against France which won their second title in World Cup history. At that time, Modric closed the tournament with two goals and one assist.
Thanks to a brilliant performance in Russia and his win in the European Champions League season 2017/2018 with Real Madrid, Modric was then awarded the 2018 Ballon d'Or.
