When he arrived, they said that Song was going to be more important than him. When he arrived, he took a cover where it was said that his signing was to "cover up shame". Shame is what some people did not have at the time for a GENERATIONAL player. Luka Modric has said goodbye to Real Madrid and has done so as what he is: one of the best players in its history.

All the players present, including those from Real Sociedad, participated in the guard of honor for Luka Modric. Honor to whom honor is due, it must be said. Luka Modric has walked his last meters in the Santiago Bernabéu as a starter in a match finale in which Madrid has kept a surprise: Toni Kroos.

The German was waiting for him at the end of the tunnel to give him a hug. The two players who have marked an era in the core of Real Madrid merged in a hug that has brought tears to the eyes of all those present in the Santiago Bernabéu. What better way to end your era as a Madrid player than this.

Once the match was over, it was the turn of the other protagonist of the afternoon: Carlo Ancelotti. If the eyes were glassy with Luka Modric's goodbye, they were no less so with Ancelotti's goodbye. A coach who has been the best in white history, with permission from Miguel Muñoz. 15 titles, including three European Cups. Many things can be said, but Ancelotti's transcendence is eternal.

Thank you, Luka, and thank you, Carlo. Your mark on Real Madrid will last for centuries to come. 🙏
