Luka Modric has explained the motivation behind his unwavering commitment to delivering stellar performances for Real Madrid, even as he navigates the challenges of advancing age.

Yet, his recent playing time paints a bleak picture. Despite featuring in 11 La Liga matches, Luka has secured only four starts, averaging a mere 39 minutes per game, as reported by Sofascore.

Modric expressed his commitment to Real Madrid by stating that he intends to keep giving his best and putting in maximum effort for the club.

“I'm gonna continue giving everything for Real Madrid,” he said as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.

While uncertainties persist regarding his future with the club, the recipient of the 2018 Ballon d'Or remains steadfast in his commitment, attributing his determination to Madrid being more than just a workplace.

Modric perceives the club as his "home," a sentiment he holds dear despite being originally from Croatia.

“Real Madrid means everything to me, it's part of my life and my family. Real Madrid is a way of being. I was born in Croatia but I feel at home here”.

Modric reflects on reduced game time

Modric, Toni Kroos, and Casemiro formed the core of Madrid's midfield during their five Champions League triumphs in eight years.

Casemiro has since departed, while Kroos extended his stay with a one-year deal. New faces like Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, Federico Valverde, and Jude Bellingham are gradually leaving their imprint on the team.

In an earlier interview, as reported by Sports Brief, Modric expressed his acceptance of the competition for places but admitted that being benched for three consecutive games is a novel experience for him.
