The match between Montenegro and Croatia, held as part of the World Cup qualifiers, was memorable not only for a high-scoring game but also for an impressive event.
Dramatic Comeback
Croatia, playing away, were trailing 0-2 during the match. However, in the end, the Croats showed willpower and managed to completely change the situation and win 3-2.
The moment that stirred the stadium
In the 78th minute, at a time when the result wasn’t significant for Croatia from a tournament standpoint, a living legend – Luka Modric – was brought onto the field. At that moment, the entire stadium, despite being the opposing player, greeted him standing up with continuous applause.
Modric’s surprise
After the game, the experienced midfielder didn’t hide his amazement at the fans’ warm reception.
“To be honest, at first I didn’t understand that these applause were sounding in my honor, it took a little time to understand the situation. I am sincerely grateful to them for such respect. My boundless love for football still gives me the strength to strive forward and fight,” Pianetamilan.it quoted Modric as saying.
