At midnight on June 16, a headline match in Group B of the European Championship sees Croatia take on Spain. Ahead of the game, Luka Modrić addressed the media, highlighting the danger posed by Spanish youngster Yamar.
Modrić first praised the Spanish team: “They are one of the favorites in this tournament. Previously, their squad was mostly based on players from Real Madrid and Barcelona, but now the coach has given opportunities to players from other clubs, and they have a lot of talented individuals.”
On the 16-year-old Yamar, who is 22 years younger than him, Modrić commented: “Hearing this makes me feel old. What Yamar has done is incredible, and everyone believes he’s a massive threat to Spain. He has a great career ahead of him, and we’ve all seen that potential.”
Regarding the group’s qualification prospects, Modrić said: “This is a very challenging group, but we’ve shown our strength in recent years. We’re one of the best teams in the world, and this Euro can prove it again. I also hope that the Croatian team will achieve good results.”
