Real Madrid defender Antonio Rudiger has revealed massive praise for Madrid veteran Luka Modric.

At 37, Modric is still a top player in the game, and is one of the greatest of his kind.

Speaking in a recent interview with AS Rudiger revealed that he refers to Modric as master.

Asked when he’d retire in the interview with AS, the 29-year-old German international replied: “Retire at Madrid?

“Dude, I’ve only been here a few months and you already want to retire me! (laughs). I feel good, if I can still play for Real Madrid at 37 years old like Modric, I will.”

The defender didn’t stop there and went on to lavish praise on Modric.

He said: “I call Modric the Master. What he does at 37 years old is something from another world. Even at this age, on the big stage that is Real Madrid, nobody is at his level.”
