He saw that Jude Bellingham can take his place at Real Madrid, Luka Modric's unexpected action

Jude Bellingham is Real Madrid's new player for 103 million euros. The 19-year-old English midfielder arrives from Borussia Dortmund after standing out with the German club and also winning the starting position for the England national team in a great way.

For Real Madrid, the arrival of a player like Jude Bellingham is certainly something positive, considering that their two great pillars like Toni Kroos or Luka Modric are already at an advanced age and despite their great physical condition, they may have their last years at Real Madrid.

For Luka Modric, however, things are very different. For the moment, he has no intention of leaving the team coached by Carlo Ancelotti despite being 38 years old. Proof of this is the great performance he gave for Croatia in the UEFA Nations League semi-final against the Netherlands. Luka Modric was a starter and showed that Jude Bellingham will have a difficult job if he thinks he will easily take away his starting place in the team.

What did Luka Modric do in the UEFA Nations League match?

The Real Madrid midfielder came on the pitch and showed he is still at an important level as he played the whole game as captain, went into extra time and beat the Netherlands to reach the UEFA Nations League final. Luka Modric contributed in this match with a goal in the match. Now, Modric is close to winning his first title with Croatia after playing in the final of one World Cup (2018) and finishing third in the next (2022).
