🇧🇷 Modric and Ancelotti: moving reunion with Vini and Endrick 🥹 | OneFootball

Last night’s Brazil-Croatia match also marked a reunion between old acquaintances and very good friends. At the end of the game, Luka Modric caught up again with Carlo Ancelotti, Vinicius Jr., and the young Endrick, creating a moment full of nostalgia and Madridismo that went beyond the purely sporting aspect.

The high point came when Modric and Ancelotti, now Brazil’s head coach, shared a heartfelt embrace. 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 spell at the Santiago Bernabéu. Endrick, for his part, showed reverential respect toward the “eternal” No. 10.

For several minutes, the four formed a circle away from the cameras. Between Ancelotti’s jokes and Vinicius’s technical gestures, the conversation reflected a connection 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 closeness speak for themselves. At 40 years old, Modric continues to show that his football and his charisma have no expiration date, keeping alive the bond with those who were his pillars in the European elite.
