Luka Modric, a Real Madrid legend, who plays for AC Milan in Italy at present, is also in the twilight of his career, at the age of 40. He would be keen to break his duck against Portugal, having not won a single game against them with Croatia in his career so far. In four head-to-head meetings, Modric’s Croatia have suffered four defeats.
It all started with a 1-0 loss in a 2013 friendly, followed by a heartbreaking 1-0 extra-time defeat at Euro 2016, and then a close 3–2 defeat in the 2020-21 UEFA Nations League. Croatia’s most recent defeat against Portugal came in a 2-1 loss during the 2024-25 Nations League campaign. Will the tables turn today?
