Josko Gvardiol is excited to be part of Luka Modric’s farewell with Croatia at Euro 2024, but before that, he aims to thwart Modric’s quest for another Champions League title. Modric, 38, is expected to retire from international football after the tournament and might leave Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Gvardiol, who joined Manchester City from RB Leipzig last summer, praised Modric’s qualities as both a player and a leader. He is relishing the opportunity to face off against Modric and other national team-mates in the Champions League. City faces a tough challenge in the quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid, with the tie level at 3-3.

Gvardiol, eager for Champions League success, believes that facing top teams like Real Madrid is essential to winning the tournament. Gvardiol has impressed with his performances, scoring important goals for City. His international team-mate, Mateo Kovacic, is impressed by his form and is happy to see him enjoying his time at Manchester City.
