Luka Modric spits everything after l’AC Milan : « I have been here for 12 years and.. ».

Veteran Croatian midfielder Luka Modric is not hidden at the final whistle after the new disappointment of Real Madrid against’AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday. While Carlo Ancelotti’s team’ seems completely lost, the 39-year-old clearly evokes the way forward.

Real Madrid’s recent struggles, especially following the 4-0 loss to Barcelona and this latest 3-1 defeat to AC Milan, have shaken both fans and players alike. Despite a squad filled with star power, including Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, and Federico Valverde, the team has been underperforming, with Luka Modric offering a candid reflection on the situation.

Modric confirms the discomfort

Modric’s post-match comments after the Milan defeat shed light on deeper issues within the squad, particularly regarding team cohesion. He emphasized that the struggles aren’t isolated to one area, like defense, but are a collective issue requiring the entire team to step up and unify. For a veteran like Modric, with over a decade at the club, seeing the team “divided on the field” is worrying, as it contrasts sharply with Real Madrid’s long-standing strength in unity and collective resilience.

His remarks about the need for hard work and collective effort resonate with the leadership expected from senior players. Modric’s insistence on working as a team rather than relying solely on individual quality speaks volumes about the type of response Real Madrid will need to reverse this trend. This period of adversity raises questions about whether Carlo Ancelotti can find the necessary adjustments and rekindle the chemistry that has often defined Madrid’s most successful squads.

« We are divided on the ground »

In a time when criticism is mounting, especially around Ancelotti’s ability to bring out the best in the current squad, Modric’s call for unity and perseverance serves as both a rallying cry and a reminder of what has always driven Real Madrid forward. Whether the squad can come together and respond positively remains to be seen, but Modric’s words undoubtedly underscore the urgency and importance of rediscovering their cohesion as a team.
