Luka Modric dice adiós: Se despide una leyenda de los mundiales y hay conmoción

In a dramatic World Cup 2026 match in Toronto, Portugal defeated Croatia 2-1 in extra time, securing their place in the quarterfinals. The game was marked by intense emotions, particularly for Croatian captain Luka Modric, who is likely saying goodbye to international football after this loss. Modric, 40, had a heartfelt farewell with his longtime friend Cristiano Ronaldo, who was substituted in the 81st minute. The match saw Croatia's last-minute equalizer disallowed due to an offside call, leading to Portugal's victory. This encounter set a new record as the first time two players over 40 years old faced each other in a World Cup match. Modric, known for leading Croatia to the 2018 World Cup final and third-place finish in 2022, is retiring from major tournaments.
