"Luka Modric has already made 10 appearances this season, and despite being 40 years old, there's no sign of him stopping anytime soon. Today's edition of Gazzetta dello Sport has dedicated a page to the Croatian veteran, who is currently on international duty with his country. This season, he's up to 10 appearances and 736 minutes, and those metrics should increase today as Croatia are up against Gibraltar."
"One of Modric's main goals for the season is to secure qualification for the 2026 World Cup, having featured in Croatia's last four World Cup campaigns. He started with two appearances as a substitute in 2006, while he got three group-stage games in 2014. In 2018, of course, Croatia made it all the way to the final and while they lost the game against France, Modric still won the 'player of the tournament' award."
Luka Modric has made 10 appearances this season, totaling 736 minutes, and will likely add to those figures as Croatia face Gibraltar. At 40 years old he continues to play with the same spirit and quality, setting new goals and working hard in training. He aims to help Croatia qualify for the 2026 World Cup after featuring in the last four tournaments, including winning the 2018 player of the tournament award and finishing third in 2022. Modric returned to Milan after international duty, maintains meticulous training, and leads Serie A this season in completed passes.
