Real Madrid’s 4-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup semifinal not only marked a painful exit but also the end of an era: Luka Modric played his final match for Los Blancos.
After 597 appearances and a glittering trophy haul—including 6 Champions Leagues, 4 La Liga titles, 5 Club World Cups, and more—the Croatian legend received emotional farewells from teammates and manager Xabi Alonso as he left the pitch.
Shortly after the match, Modric’s next chapter was confirmed. According to Fabrizio Romano, the 38-year-old has signed a one-year deal with AC Milan, committing to the Rossoneri until June 30, 2026.
He will now take a short break before joining his new club, who eagerly await the arrival of one of football’s true icons.
