🎥 Modric, Vini, Endrick and Ancelotti: an emotional reunion 🥹 | OneFootball

Last night’s Brazil-Croatia match also brought a reunion between old acquaintances and very good friends. At the end of the game, Luka Modric met up again with Carlo Ancelotti, Vinicius Jr. and young Endrick, in a moment full of nostalgia and Madridismo that went beyond sport itself.

The high point came when Modric and Ancelotti, now Brazil’s head coach, embraced sincerely. The Canarinha boss did not hesitate to joke with Modric and even asked him whether he had a Brazilian grandfather.

The emotion continued with the arrival of Vinicius Jr. and Endrick. The chemistry between the Croatian and the Brazilian winger was clear, as they shared laughs and gestures that recalled their successful time at the Santiago Bernabéu. Endrick, for his part, showed reverential respect for the “eternal” No. 10.

For several minutes, the four of them formed a circle away from the cameras. Between Ancelotti’s jokes and Vinicius’ technical gestures, the conversation reflected a bond that time has not worn down. It was a family portrait, a Real Madrid legacy united by the ball on American soil.

Although the exact words were not made public, the images of their rapport speak for themselves. At 40, Modric continues to show that his football and charisma have no expiration date, keeping alive the bond with those who were his pillars in Europe’s elite.
