My ball guard is the most unique

In the face of the lethal Spain, Croatia had no power to fight back, and the first game of the European Championship group stage swallowed a disparity of 0-3. For the 38-year-old, tonight was particularly bitter, having only lifted the Big Ears Cup with Real Madrid 14 days ago, but now it has become the backdrop for the Matadors' record-breaking frenzy.

Back in the clock two weeks ago, Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in the Champions League final, and although Luka Modric did not get a chance to start, he still made history as a substitute. In the 11 years since joining Real Madrid, Modric has won 6 Big Ears Cups, thus surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won 5 titles, and has become the player with the most titles in the history of the Champions League.

With the glory of the Champions League, Modric has been non-stop in the preparation for the European Cup, and in the warm-up match against Portugal, the Magic Flute scored from the penalty spot to lead the team to a 2-1 victory. Just when fans were expecting another miracle for the Magic Flute at the European Championships, Spain smashed the dream of the Plaid Army with a 3-0 victory.

Luka Modric's performance in this game was rather sluggish, and although he lost possession only six of his 44 touches and handed over an 89.7 per cent pass completion rate, he did not send a single threatening shot.

In the 32nd minute, Yamal broke through a cross on the right, Pedri took advantage of the situation, and Fabian Ruiz changed direction twice in a row at the edge of the penalty area to shake off the angle, and a low shot pierced Livakovic's ten fingers. In just three minutes, Fabian Ruiz scored a pass to instantly extend the score to 2-0 and extinguish Croatia's hopes of a comeback.

And Fabian Ruiz was none other than the 38-year-old Modric. In front of the Matador Army, which is in its prime, the Magic Flute also seems to be powerless, and his old state is fully revealed. After only 65 minutes, he was replaced by Pasalic and had a post-match rating of only 6.3 points, which was only higher than Gvardiol's 6.2 points, and almost became the worst of the game.

As the saying goes, no one is forever young, but there are always people who are, and when Yamal and Pedri storm their youth, when the Matadors won easily, Modric unfortunately became the backdrop, and the cruelty of football is nothing more than this.

It is worth mentioning that before the start of the European Cup, Mbappe said in an interview that the European Cup was more difficult for him than the World Cup, which immediately caused an uproar, and South American players led by Messi and Paredes spoke out, saying that Mbappe lacked the necessary respect for the world champion.

Modric also did not give Mbappe face, he agreed with Messi's opinion and bluntly said that the World Cup is more difficult. However, reality has played a joke on the Magic Flute, he can lead Croatia to the semi-finals of two consecutive World Cups, but in the European Championship, he has won fewer and lost more, and even reached the last eight once is a luxury.
