On the day he fought Luka Modric His first international match with Croatia was surrounded by Uighur Tudor. The opponent at the time was a familiar name: Argentina with its young star Leo Messi.
Nearly two decades have passed since the first of March 2006, but the friendly match in which Croatia overcame Argentina 3-2 in Basel (Switzerland) is still engraved in the memory of the star who is currently playing with Milan .
Because his first appearance in the national team shirt is unforgettable. Then, Luca was only twenty years old.
Although he was already considered a bright talent in Croatian football (two years later, in 2008, he joined Tottenham; and in 2012, he moved to Real Madrid), but few people were to imagine that he would create such a wonderful profession.
Modric played 190 international matches with Croatia, and reached the World Cup final once (2018), and won six titles in the Champions League with Real Madrid.
After the 2026 World Cup, Tudor will not play with Croatia due to repeated injuries. However, he still maintains his friendship with Modric, but rather he is one of the most fans of Blogita, and he always follows and encourages him on TV.
Now Modric will meet Tudor again in a different context: he is the leader of Milan who faces Juventus led by his compatriot.
Milan is being rebuilt under the leadership of coach Max Alegre after a disappointing season. Modric is the essence of the new project.
At the age of forty, Modric is still making a great effort. He is the unparalleled captain, who helps Milan to top the Italian League for the 2025/2026 season after five rounds, especially victory over Napoli, the defending champion, a achievement that no one has achieved for more than half a year.
Meanwhile, Tudor is established Juventus New and youth. The “old lady” is no longer as before, but it is able to play with an open combat spirit with any opponent. They previously defeated Inter Milan 4-3 in a crazy way.
Milan failed to register in his last four confrontations with Juventus in the Italian League. The Rossoneri hopes to end this series and win, even at Allianz.
Coach Alegre plans to build a 3-5-1-1 squad, with Polisic playing behind striker Santi Jimenez. Modric will play the role of mediator between the lines, as no one has ever been superior to passes after five rounds of the Italian League.
With Modric, who leads the road, along with Alegre who understands Juventus well (and Adrian Rabio, another former player in Turin), Milan fans dream of winning to maintain the lead.
