Cristiano Ronaldo, Mbappe other present, past Real Madrid players pay tributes to Modric

Present and past Real Madrid players have paid tributes to midfielder, Luka Modric as he is all set to leave the club this summer.

Modric had already revealed he will leave Real Madrid after the end of their FIFA Club World Cup campaign this summer.

The Real Madrid captain will play his  last match at Santiago Bernabeu when  the Los Blancos welcome Real Sociedad on Saturday in their final La Liga game of the season.

The 39-year-old Croatia midfielder had on Thursday announced via his Instagram that he will leave Madrid.

“The moment has arrived. The moment I never wanted to come, but that’s football, and in life everything has a beginning and an end,” Modric said on Instagram.

“I arrived in 2012 with the hope of wearing the jersey of the best team in the world and the ambition to do great things, but I couldn’t have imagined what came next,” he said.

Reacting, both current and past Real Madrid players paid tributes to the 2018 Ballon d’Or winner on Instagram.

Here are the reactions gathered by WAPLOADED:

Cristiano Ronaldo: “Thanks for everything, Luka! It’s an honor to share so many moments with you at the club. Wishing you success in whatever comes next.”

Karim Benzema: “Thank you, thank you very much what a player No10 forever.”

Jude Bellingham: “The only thing outweighing my sadness right now is the gratitude I feel for having had the honour of being your teammate.

“So many great memories on and off the pitch that I will treasure forever.

“Your magic was never a surprise and there’s nothing I can say that hasn’t already been said about your incredible achievements but your humility, openness and the time you took for every single person in any circumstance has blown me away, you’re a constant reminder of everything that is beautiful about football.

“Brate, from the bottom of my heart thank you for every pass (whether it was with the inside or outside), every dribble, every nutmeg and every shot but more meaningful to me every chat, every hug, every dinner and every piece of wisdom and advice that you gave.
