The legendary Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modrić said goodbye to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. The Croatian star has earned the hearts of the fans with their captivating performances in the midfield of Real Madrid for many years. But as every beautiful story comes to an end, Modrić’s passage through Bernabéu also ended an emotional farewell. The 9 -words message he left at his exit caused tears not only to Real Madrid fans but to the whole world of football. This message showed once again that Modrić is not only a footballer, but also a character and a leader.
When Luka Modrić signed for Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur in 2012, no one could have predicted that he would become a legend. But the Croatian master consolidated himself quickly and became one of the best players in the club’s history. With its elegance in the field, precision in the passes, vision and leadership capacity, Modrić has played a key role in the five titles of Real Madrid Champions League and in numerous Triumphs of LaLiga. Modrić, who reached the top of his career by winning the Golden Ball in 2018, is considered one of the best modern football midfielders.
The farewell match at Bernabéu was one of the most prominent moments of Modrić’s career. Fans demonstrated their love chanting their name throughout the game. The moment at the end of the game, when Modrić said goodbye in tears of the fans in the countryside, he will go to football history. But the truly emotional moment came with the nine -words message that Modrić left when he said goodbye: “You will be in my heart forever, thanks Real Madrid.” These brief but felt words deeply moved everyone present at the stadium. Fans, players and even the technical team could not contain tears before these words.
Modrić’s farewell is not only considered the exit of a club player, but also the end of an era. His leadership in the countryside, his humble personality and his professionalism became a model to follow for young players. The recent farewell of his intimate friend Toni Kroos, in particular, has been an emotional burden for Real Madrid fans. The march of the two legends symbolizes the end of an era in the history of the club. But Modrić’s legacy will remain alive in Bernabéu.
Modrić’s farewell also had a great impact on Turkish football fans. The Croatian star, which has a large base of followers in Türkiye, has always been admired for its sports spirit and football intelligence in the countryside. His passage through Real Madrid has also been a source of inspiration for young Turkish soccer players. Modrić’s farewell is a loss not only for Real Madrid, but for the whole world of football.
It is curious what Modrić will do in the future. Some rumors suggest that they could continue their football career in another league or follow a career as a coach. But whatever happens, Modrić’s memory in the Bernabéu and the nine -words message that he left will be written with gold letters in the history of football. Fans will never forget their words: “You will be in my heart forever, thanks Real Madrid”, and they hope to see him again at the Bernabéu one day.
