"We didn't start the match well, they took advantage by scoring two goals, but then, as the match went on, we were better and more concrete and we finished the qualification in the best possible way, which was our objective."
"Yes, the crowd welcomed us magnificently. I can only thank them for that. That they continue to support their team like this; it was a fantastic atmosphere. As I walked towards the bench, I didn't even realise it [the ovation] was directed at me, but I realised later. It was an incredible feeling and emotion, I've felt it in many stadiums. It's always nice when the fans from a neighbouring town welcome you like this; it's even more special. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Are there AC Milan fans in Podgorica, too? Well, if so, I'm happy."
"We can't wait to see who we'll be drawn against in the group. We can't wait to see who we'll play against, but also which coast we'll be going to. There's still a long time to go until the World Cup, so now we need to focus on our clubs and do our best to face the challenges that await us."
Luka Modric continues to perform at an elite level at age 40, contributing significantly to AC Milan. His honours include a Ballon d'Or, multiple domestic league titles, and Champions League medals. Milan recovered from conceding two early goals to secure qualification, achieving their objective through improved play as the match progressed. Modric received a warm ovation from the crowd and described the reception as an incredible, emotional experience, particularly meaningful when coming from nearby fans. The focus now shifts to awaiting the group-stage draw and concentrating on club duties ahead of the World Cup.
