In the 64th minute, he was substituted in: a final mandatory game in the Real jersey. But even Luka Modrić couldn’t prevent the defeat against PSG. Instead, he had to watch from the bench as the French team gave the Royals a proper beating.

Like many Real fans, Modrić would have probably preferred to look away during the opposing team’s goals.
After being substituted in, he even had to experience the fourth goal on the field himself.
So this is the end? 😞 pic.twitter.com/vCYGfK3rHU

Without winning another title, Modrić thus bid farewell to Real Madrid. After his last game, he received not only comfort from his coach but also from the opponent.

“It’s an honor to stand on the pitch with him. He’s a role model,” said PSG star Vitinha.
He won’t completely stop playing football, according to media reports, Modrić is now facing a transfer to AC Milan. But the Croatian had certainly imagined his farewell from the Royals differently.
