Luka Modric settled controversy related to Kylian Mbappé and gave his opinion on the Frenchman’s decision

Real Madrid fans expressed total rejection of Kylian Mbappé, after the striker chose to renew his contract with PSG. Then, in the middle of this context, the Frenchman crossed paths with Luka Modric, one of the team’s top leaders, in the match between France and Croatia for the UEFA Nations League.

That June 14, days after ‘Kiki’ committed to ‘Les Parisiens’, the ‘White House’ midfielder approached his rival on duty, hugged him and exchanged a few words. That gesture was pointed out by Madrid fans and the Spanish press. In this regard, the Croatian spoke in an interview with Sportske.

“He regrets?”they consulted him in the middle of his country. “Come on, please, what do I regret? In fact, those media stories seemed funny to me. I understand the media, who do something special in everything they can, but here it is only about a request for a child and the fulfillment of her wish ”he clarified.

And ‘Lukita’ continued: “Vida’s little son loves Mbappé, he asked me to ask him about the shirt because he expected him to give it to me. Of course I did it for Vida’s son as I would for any child if he could. With Kylian, for my collection, I have already exchanged shirts in previous matches…”he expressed.

Mbappe’s decision

Then, continuing with the Kylian theme, Modric also valued the step the world champion took for his career. The midfielder highlighted the attacker’s excellent level, but clarified that the club, in this case Real Madrid, will never depend on the arrival of a footballer, no matter how important it may be.

“Mbappé decided what he decided, that is his right and now he lives with that decision. We all thought that he would come with us, it didn’t happen… and now what? Well, we’re not going to crucify him. Mbappé is a great player, but as I always repeat, in any context, no player is more important than the club. Real Madrid is the greatest, above all the players and it will always be like that”sentenced.

Response to critics

Modric gave value to Real Madrid’s campaign in the Champions League, despite the contrary opinions of the experts. “You eliminate the French champion and the European champion comes to you. You knock out Chelsea and then the English champions. You also throw out City… And Liverpool! All the teams, wow, and still some say we were lucky!”said.

“But how you are going to eliminate all those mega teams without quality and play, I don’t understand. There is this thesis that we win titles by miracle and fortune. But hey, I don’t care. Let some think and we, meanwhile, win “sentenced the steering wheel of the ‘White House’ for a season that will not be forgotten.
