ROME (ITALPRESS) – “Madrid is my home, but I’m happy in Milan.” Luka Modric said this in an interview with Marca.
The 40-year-old Croatian has settled in well at AC Milan and in Italy. “I was welcomed with open arms from the very first day, and I’m very happy. The proof is that I’m still here, for a second consecutive year. So, even though I miss Madrid a lot, I’m in Milan now and I’m doing well.”
“AC Milan are one of the best clubs in the world, a historic club that perhaps have not achieved the results everyone was accustomed to seeing in recent years, but they remain a great team, one of the most loved in the world. The pressure is also extremely high. When you arrive here, you can feel it. You can breathe in the club’s history even at the training ground. So many legends and great players have played here. That was certainly one of the reasons why I chose Milan. When this opportunity came up after Real Madrid, I didn’t have many doubts,” Modric added.
“Now we want to do better than last year. For a long time, we did very well and were in the title race practically until March. Then, in the final matches, we threw everything away and failed to qualify for the Champions League. It was a major blow for Milan because, at the very least, Milan should play in the Champions League every year, given its history. It is the second-most successful club in the competition, behind Real Madrid,” the Croatian concluded.
