Luka Modric Applauds Real Madrid’s Rising Stars

Luka Modric has been a pivotal figure for Real Madrid for over a decade, etching his name into the annals of the club’s history with unforgettable moments, such as his legendary corner kick in the La Decima-winning final. Despite his greatness, the 38-year-old Croatian superstar faces stiff competition in midfield this season, as Real Madrid boasts some of the world’s most talented midfielders.

Jude Bellingham, in particular, has been a revelation for Los Blancos. With five goals in just four games, he has quickly become a fan favorite, even matching the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal tally. Luka Modric himself has been impressed by the young Englishman’s talent, saying, “Bellingham? I have to say Jude has pleasantly surprised me. It was known he was talented, but when you see him up close, you only realize his potential. He really is a top talent. He has a sense of the game, he can achieve what he imagines, he also has that ‘personality.’ He has all the prerequisites to achieve a great career.”

Modric also expressed his positive opinion of Arda Guler, a Turkish wonderkid who, despite an injury during pre-season, has left a favorable impression on the Real Madrid legend.

With emerging talents like Bellingham and Guler, it appears that Real Madrid’s future is in capable hands. As the season progresses, it will be intriguing to see how much playing time Modric receives amidst a competitive midfield lineup.
