Modric Confesses in Madrid’s Locker Room Why He Voted for Messi: ‘It Was the Right …’

Luka Modric y Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi’s victory at The Best awards cannot be fully understood without votes from Real Madrid players. The situation sparked controversy, and Luka Modric has now confessed in the Madrid locker room why he voted for Messi: ‘It was the right thing.’

Lionel Messi is The Best once again, and part of the credit goes to votes from players like Luka Modric. Messi triumphed over Erling Haaland at the awards ceremony, causing a stir. The situation has reached Valdebebas, where the Croatian midfielder reveals in the Real Madrid locker room why he cast his vote for Messi at the London event: ‘It was the right thing.’

This is not the first time Modric has emphasized that he values career achievements more than specific moments when participating in such votes. His role as captain in the Balkans earned him votes at The Best awards, making headlines across Europe.

‘It was the fairest choice considering his career. Individually, I don’t think anyone stood out… and what he does at his age, as it happens to me, involves a lot of hard work behind it,’ explained Luka to his teammates this morning at Valdebebas. This is how he justified a situation that other players under Carlo Ancelotti had already experienced not too long ago.

He has never denied his admiration After the World Cup semifinal, Modric made it clear what he feels for Messi at his age. Rivalry is sometimes set aside for admiration: ‘I hope Messi wins this World Cup; he is the best player in history and deserves it. He is having a great World Cup, showing his quality and greatness in every game.’

This is why Modric voted for Messi at The Best awards. The Croatian, along with Federico Valverde and David Alaba, has been the latest Real Madrid players to nominate the former Barcelona and PSG star, now with Inter Miami. Erling Haaland’s family and entourage have already expressed strong objections to his defeat.
