Modric confirms Nations League continuation at 41: Story of 202 caps and silence after World Cup

In the silence after the final whistle of the World Cup round of 32, when fans left the stadium with empty hands, no one mentioned that zero. It was not zero goals, not zero assists, but the absence of a 41-year-old knight. Luka Modric, who once made the whole world hold its breath every time his cleats touched the grass, is now the center of retirement rumors. But after days of silence, an official statement from the Croatian Football Federation shattered that silence, giving hope to the nation and to those who once dreamed of a football legend.
