"Modric left the pitch about ten minutes after his teammates because he first had to answer questions from DAZN. As soon as he finished with the reporters, he ran to the dressing room, as if the 10.839km he ran on the pitch weren't enough. Off he went, full speed ahead to celebrate with the team and not miss the best moments."
"It is a clear sign: Modric is considered by everyone to be a player apart, in a class all of his own. He's won six Champions Leagues, the Ballon d'Or, and even at 40, he commands with intelligence and technique but also with his running, positioning and grit."
"Modric never puts himself on a pedestal: he speaks to his team-mates as an equal, as he always has throughout his career. The beauty, for Milan, is that the affection is mutual. Modric experienced Real Madrid but has been a Milan fan since he was a child, and now has 'fallen in love' with his new club."
Luka Modric, the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner, celebrated Milan's derby victory with remarkable enthusiasm, displaying the passion of a teenager despite his legendary career. After finishing media duties, he rushed to the dressing room to join his teammates' celebration, where they chanted his name in recognition of his exceptional status. Modric commands respect through intelligence, technique, and work ethic while remaining humble and treating teammates as equals. His childhood admiration for Milan has evolved into genuine affection for his current club. Both Modric and manager Allegri recognize the crucial role of fan support in Milan's pursuit of the Scudetto, particularly during upcoming away matches across Italy.
