Fede Valverde's son, heartbroken by Modric's farewell: tears of Madridism

Fede Valverde's son couldn't hold back the tears while applauding the farewell of a legend like Luka Modrić

The farewell of Luka Modric and Carlo Ancelotti has left a deep mark on all of Madridism. No one has experienced it with as much emotion as Fede Valverde's son, the unexpected protagonist of one of the most emotional images of the tribute held at Santiago Bernabéu.

During the farewell, the little one couldn't hold back the tears. It was Mina Bonino, the wife of the Uruguayan midfielder, who shared the moment on social media.

In the video, the child can be seen crying inconsolably while applauding Modric's departure, a clear symbol of the affection and admiration he feels for the Croatian legend. A spontaneous and sincere gesture that has moved millions of fans.

A bond beyond the locker room

Modric and Ancelotti have not only been role models for Real Madrid fans. They have also been part of the daily lives of the players and their families.

Valverde's son has grown up watching his father share a locker room with a historic footballer and work under the orders of a coach who has marked an era. For him, not only an idol and a coach are leaving. An important part of his closest environment is leaving.

These types of moments reflect the impact that figures like Modric and Ancelotti have not only on the field but in the lives of those around them. Little Valverde, with his tears, represented the sadness of an entire stadium that said goodbye to two of its great emblems.

An eternal legacy in Madridism

Since his arrival at the club, Luka Modric has left an indelible mark. With his talent, character, and commitment, he has been an essential part of Real Madrid's most glorious era in recent times. The same goes for Carlo Ancelotti, a coach who has managed to earn the respect and affection of the locker room and all the fans.
