The Real Madrid midfielder put in a vintage performance on Thursday night as he guided his Croatia team to a 2-0 victory over France in the first leg of their UEFA Nations League quarter-final. He even managed to outshine his younger club teammates Kylian Mbappe, Aur&eacute;lien Tchouameni, and Eduardo Camavinga in the process.<\/p><p>Modric was instrumental in dictating the tempo from midfield. His influence was felt throughout the 90 minutes. He even provided a moment of magic which led to the opening goal. Modric produced a stunning lofted pass to Ivan Perisic, who then delivered a perfect assist for Ante Budimir to open the scoring.<\/p><p>Modric rolled back the years with a tireless display. He finished the match with 80 touches, 48 completed passes out of 55, six interceptions and six duels. Perhaps the most memorable moment of the night came in the 88th minute, when he made a superb last-ditch tackle on Kylian Mbappe, denying France a late lifeline.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Luka Modric vs France<br><br>Almost 40 years of age&hellip;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EiyA9aTv7w\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/EiyA9aTv7w<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Omar &#127462;&#127466; (@_Wangster) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_Wangster\/status\/1903148784281915498?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>March 21, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">No Hurry: Modric on Signing Contract Extension<\/h2><p>After the match, Luka Modric expressed his desire to retire at Real Madrid.
