Luka Modric has closed his chapter with Real Madrid with an image that is already history. The Croatian midfielder stayed alone on Santiago Bernabéu field, now empty, to immortalize a legendary career.

He did it with a photo surrounded by all the titles he has won with the white club. An unrepeatable image.

Modric, 39 years old, bids farewell to Real Madrid as a true soccer legend. His record with the merengue team is impressive: 28 titles in total, spread across all the major competitions.

An unparalleled collection that sums up his legacy in the most awarded club in the world.

An intimate and symbolic farewell

The snapshot, taken with the stadium completely empty, conveys the emotion of a unique moment. There are no fans, no teammates, no noise. Only Modric and his titles. An intimate, deep, and symbolic farewell.

Since his arrival at Real Madrid in 2012, Modric has earned everyone's respect. His elegant soccer, his dedication, and his leadership have been key in one of the club's most successful periods.

The photo, simple but full of meaning, is already circulating around the world. It is the perfect summary of a glorious era. Luka Modric leaves Bernabéu with his head held high, leaving a mark in soccer history.

The Club World Cup, his possible last challenge

Although he has said goodbye to Bernabéu, his story with Real Madrid is not over yet. Luka Modric is set to play in the new Club World Cup this summer. The tournament will bring together the best teams from all continents in a new format.

Modric could add one more title to his already extensive record. He would be the first to win this revamped championship, which would add even more value to his career.

His legacy is eternal. And it can grow even more in the coming months.
