Ex-Real Madrid star Luka Modrić has revealed that his former team, always strive to uphold the highest standards and refuse to accept anything below them.
Luka Modrić who now plays for AC Milan said in an interview with Arena Sport, that his time with the Spanish giants was among the most memorable phases of his career.
“It wasn’t simple, because I spent 13 years at one club. It was one of the greatest chapters of my life. I joined relatively late, but at the perfect moment, after four years in England. I was prepared.
“Everything I went through still feels unbelievable. If someone had asked me to write down what I dreamed of achieving, I would’ve been scared to put on paper what eventually came true.
“You know the type of club Real Madrid is: it doesn’t tolerate anything below its standards, and keeping that level for so many years is probably the most remarkable thing.
“When I arrived, I thought staying five or six years would already be fantastic. For a long time, reaching 35 as a footballer seemed incredibly hard—and I managed it.”
