Croatian has played around 600 games for Real Madrid since joining Tottenham in 2012, winning the Champions League six times, Copa del Ray twice and a total of 28 trophies.

After a step of about 35 million euros ($ 40 million), Modric struggled at the beginning of his Madrid career, but quickly found his rung and developed in one of the world’s best midfielders.

Modric, who became the captain of Madrid in the last summer, won Bellon D’Or in 2018 for his performance with Madrid and ended as a runner -up at the World Cup in Croatia Russia, with his country.

“Throughout the years I have experienced incredible moments, return, which seemed impossible in burnbuy, final, ceremonies and magical nights,” Modric continued.

“We won all this and I was very happy. Very, very happy.”

‘Unforgettable era’

Modric signed a one -year contract expansion in the last summer by June 30, 2025, but can stay ahead for a few days if Madrid can progress as expected from his club World Cup group. The tournament ends on 13 July.

Madrid said in a statement, “Real Madrid and our Captain Luca Modric agreed to end an unforgettable era … After the Club World Cup that our team will compete in the United States from June 18.”

“Real Madrid wants to show his gratitude and affection for someone who is one of the biggest legends in our club and world football …

“Modric is one of the five players who have managed to win six European Cups in the entire football history, and they are players with the most trophies in 123 years of the existence of Real Madrid.”

The midfielder scored 43 goals for Madrid in 590 games, and the ninth largest appearance of the club. Former striker Raul is with the first 741 games.

“Modric will always be a unique and exemplary footballer in the hearts of all Madrid fans who have always represented the values ​​of Madrid,” said Madrid Chairman Florentino Perez.

“Madrid fans and all fans in the world fell in love with their football, their legacy will be forever.”

Tributes of their team colleagues on social media and currently tribute.

Real Madrid Midfielder Jude Belingham shared himself and modrics on Instagram, saying, “Whatever my sadness is right now is that I am feeling respecting to be my team partner.”

“You are a constant reminder of everything beautiful about football.”

“Legend,” wrote under the Modric Post by Brazilian Winger Winger Vinusius Junior of Madrid.

Real Betis Playmaker ISCO, who played with Modric in Madrid for nine sessions, wrote: “To love everyone is the most difficult task and you have achieved it with your football and the way you are.”

The adjacent departure of Modric is another blow to Madrid, which was already decreasing midfield after the Tony Cross retired in the last summer.

Los Blancos, however, has already signed Dean Hedesen from Bornmouth Dean Hedden and is all set to bring Liverpool Right-Back Trent to Alexander-Aranl at the end of his contract.

Out of title controversy, Delhi Capital Stand-in Skipper Faf du Plessis Said that his failure to qualify for IPL playoffs was a reflection of a staggering campaign.

The DC was abolished after failing to chase 181, which fell to 121 for a large -scale defeat of 59 runs.

The top three of England’s Zak Croly, Ben Docket and Oli Pope made hundreds as they piled up for a helpless Zimbabwe in a four-day Test in Nottingham on Thursday. On the first day at Trent Bridge, one was a completely prominent England for three in stumps, not better than the run-a-ball at the top with 169 after the number three Pope. England scored around 500 runs in a day, with the Pope’s fourth score of over 150, emphasized the Gulf among the sides in the first Test of Zimbabwe in England in 22 years.

Left-Hander Docket led the initial run-school with 140 at his Nottinghamshire Home Ground and the opening partner Croli made 124.

In December 2022, three figures of the same trio against Pakistan did not reach Rawalpindi, so the top three of England had made hundreds of the initial days of a test.

After the century of Croly, he managed to score just 212 runs in his last eight tests at an average of just 15.14.

Crowley told Sky Sports after stumps, “He did so with Ben, I did not feel pressure, and Popi did the same.”

The score of Kent batsman’s first panties in the county championship is 1, 0, 1 and 6 so far this season.

“You know that you are under pressure and you want to score,” Croley said in 54 tests just after the fifth century.

“It is good to find some rhythms. The wicket is not as easy for Kent and I have felt in good touch for a few months.”

But all three hundreds of Thursdays were created against the Zimbabwe’s attack, which had very little relationship with the steric challenges waiting for England in the upcoming five-observance chains at home before going to Australia at the end of this year.

Nagrawa injury

Zimbabwe was more disabled when Richard Narva, of course, got out of the field shortly after lunch by holding his back and haemstring while chasing a ball, a ball for 42 in nine overs.

Ngarava returned late in the final session, but did not bowl again before leaving the field.

Earlier, Zimbabwe’s captain Craig Erwin won the toss and fielded in the hope that his attack could use a cloud cover over the Trent Bridge, which is a land famous for supporting the pamen.

His decision was more understandable by a young joint county side in his loan warm-up match last week, seeing Zimbabwe’s 138-run thrashing.

But when the four Quick of Zimbabwe got sometimes to distract the ball rapidly, he also over-picked up and bowled very little.

The aggressive Docket completed 100 balls properly before pulling Tanaka Chivanga, with 12 wicket -free overs cost expensive 83 runs, for six.

Docket, however, got out in familiar fashion.

Through the cover for four, spinner Vesley thrashed the first ball of Madhavre and pulled the next for six, Duckele chose Tamley to cover the third.

England were 231–1 after Docket and Croley put their first three-Akkara opening partnership since Ireland put at 109 against Ireland in 2023.

After a trademark cover four, Crolya rushed him to 98, including 12 borders in a century of 145 balls.

But after suffering whatever cramps were confronted, Crolly LBW tried to sweep spinner Sikander Raza for the pleasure of a small but soluble band of Zimbabwe’s supporters.

The Pope forced Raza for his 14th four in 109 balls as he raised his record by becoming the first batsman to score hundreds of his first eight Tests against different opponents.

So the commanding England were that when the lead batsman Joe Root closed Mujrabani (one for 111 out of 20 overs), who blessed Pesiman for 34, made a little difference.

England captain Ben Stokes, listed to bat the next, is returning to cricket this week after the long rehabilitation of all -rounders with his latest hamstring tears.
