Carlo Ancelotti has showered praise on Luka Modric, highlighting the Croatian’s incredible work ethic and enduring influence at Real Madrid.

Speaking in a recent interview with Poretcast, the Italian manager expressed his admiration for the veteran midfielder, who continues to play a crucial role for Los Blancos despite his age.

“This Real Madrid generation was built with Sergio Ramos, Cristiano, Benzema, Kroos, Marcelo… Modric stayed, he continues to train every day as if it were his last,” Ancelotti said.

The legendary playmaker, now in the latter stages of his career, remains a vital figure in the dressing room and on the pitch. Ancelotti acknowledged the unique presence of Modric in the squad, emphasising the midfielder’s lasting impact.

“Modric came from a great generation, and I am happy that he is still with us, making such a big difference at Real Madrid and among the players,” he added.

Even as the club transitions to a new era with younger stars emerging, Modric continues to set the standard with his professionalism, leadership, and passion for the game. Ancelotti’s words reaffirm just how much the Croatian remains an integral part of Real Madrid’s DNA.
