Modric: "I hope Messi wins this World Cup, he's the best player in history"

MADRID, 14 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The captain of the Croatian team, Luka Modric, praised the figure of Leo Messi on Tuesday, whom I consider "the best in history", and wished him luck for the final next Sunday, after his team lost (3-0) against Argentina in the semifinals of the World Cup in Qatar 2022.

"Hopefully Messi wins this World Cup, he is the best player in history and he deserves it. He is doing a great World Cup, he is showing his quality and greatness in every game," the player said in statements to the media after the game.

In addition, the Croatian wanted to congratulate Argentina on the victory and confessed that they want to go for third place. "We have to recover and try to win the game for third place. We are sad, we expected to play a new final. It didn't happen. We have to congratulate Argentina and that's it," he said.

Lastly, the Real Madrid player criticized the referee's decision on the first goal, signaling Livakovic's penalty for Julián Álvarez. "I can't believe that the referee has awarded that penalty. In my opinion, there is no sanction. Julián Álvarez shoots, our goalkeeper comes out in front and I can't believe that the referee awarded that penalty. That's the way things are, you can't change ", he concluded.
