Croatia Luka Modric is expected to roll back the years and enjoy what could be his last major tournament with his country
Thirty Eight year old Real Madrid midfielder, is expected to lead his country in their opening group game against Spain in Berlin on Saturday almost two decades after making his first appearance in a major for Croatia at the 2006 World Cup.
Croatia, World Cup finalists in 2018, are not among the favourites in Germany but Modric said that did not bother him.
“Being the dark horses, we don’t mind about that,” added Modric, who is set to become the first Croatian player to feature at five different editions of the European Championship.
Spain are looking to secure a record fourth European Championship after successes in 1964, 2008 and 2012.
