Cristiano Ronaldo Praises Vinicius and Bellingham as “Golden” Talents

During a friendly match between Portugal and Croatia, Luka Modric and Cristiano Ronaldo had the chance to share moments on the pitch. They talked about two Real Madrid players: “They are golden…”

Both players are history and present for a Real Madrid that enjoyed their talents together for years. The club still nostalgically looks back at the times when both thrilled the Bernabéu. In a friendly match ahead of the Euros, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric met again and even had time to discuss the giant white club.

A Portugal vs. Croatia match was the perfect excuse to witness the great relationship between these two players, their enduring connection, and how those years leading the best Madrid of the 21st century remain vivid in their memories. Yesterday, they were rivals, but Modric and Cristiano understand better than anyone where the battle ends.

Cristiano and Modric had time to catch up on everything. From sports performance, family matters, to future plans, the Portuguese star showed considerable interest in the present status of many of his former teammates in Carlo Ancelotti’s Madrid. He even confessed to Luka who excites him most before Mbappé’s arrival.

CR7’s Favorites “I really like Vinicius and Bellingham, those guys are golden… they have a winning mentality,” the Portuguese star admitted to the Croatian during their chat. Both are preparing for a European Championship where they might even face the Englishman and where they are also looking for their last chance to give their nations an international title.

CR7 still holds Madrid in his heart, and the feeling is mutual from the other side. The Portuguese star didn’t hesitate to choose Vinicius and Bellingham as the players who excite him the most in Carlo Ancelotti’s team. There are more than capable heirs to Ronaldo’s legend.
