Real Madrid Seeks Reinforcements After Defeat and Dismisses Modrić

Real Madrid Seeks Reinforcements After Defeat in the Club World Cup

Xabi Alonso, Real Madrid’s coach, has confirmed that the club is considering making additions to its squad for next season, following the 4-0 defeat against Paris-Saint Germain in the semi-final of the Club World Cup.

We haven’t talked about it during the Club World Cup, but from now on we are open to making improvements. We are always looking to improve and there is room for it.

Meanwhile, Luka Modrić’s outstanding career at Real Madrid came to an end with a painful defeat. However, the Croatian midfielder’s legacy extends far beyond a single match.

Modrić, winner of the Ballon d’Or in 2018 and the most decorated player of the Spanish club, will join AC Milan after playing his last match with Madrid at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Wednesday. Since his arrival from Tottenham Hotspur in 2012, the 39-year-old player played 597 matches and won 28 titles with Real Madrid, including six Champions League titles.

This is not the desired end, it’s a bitter end, but he will not be remembered for today’s match, but for other great ones. He is a legend of world football and Real Madrid. He will be remembered for many more good things than for the 25 minutes he played today.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois stated that Modrić will leave a void.

Modrić always receives a standing ovation, not just from Real Madrid fans. He is a great player, a great teammate, and we will miss him.
