A popular question on several football fans’ minds is when Luka Modric will play his last game in the World Cup for Croatia.
The midfield maestro saw his nation eliminated out of the World Cup against Argentina in a 3-0 defeat.
While many expected Zlatko Dalic’s side to do the impossible and secure a place in the final, Lionel Messi and Co. had other plans.
After the clash, the former Tottenham superstar showed his class by wishing that Messi wins the competition, while also controversially labeling him as “the best player in history” over ex-teammate Cristiano Ronaldo (via Mundo Deportivo).
A number of supporters reacted with disappointment online, fearing that Modric had played his final game in the World Cup for Croatia.
After all, the Real Madrid legend had admitted that the competition in Qatar was set to be his last dance.
“I am aware that I am of a certain age and that this is my last competition in the Croatian national team”, he told FIFA+.
Keeping this in mind, many wonder whether the veteran played his final game at the tournament for one of the world’s most dangerous tournament sides.
When will Luka Modric play his last World Cup match for Croatia?
It is key to remind many that Luka Modric still has one final game in the World Cup left to play for Croatia.
With the Croatians bowing out of the semi-finals, they are set to face the loser of other semi-final clash between France and Morocco tonight in a playoff that settles which team finish in 3rd-place at the tournament.
The match will be played on Saturday, December 17 at 15:00 GMT at the 45,000-capacity Khalifa International Stadium.
Football fans from across the globe are expected to tune in to watch Luka Modric play his last-ever game in the World Cup for Croatia.
And rightly so, considering he remains one of the game’s greatest ever players.
