The Croatian maestro acknowledged the player’s game-changing performance, admitting that he had initial doubts but was ultimately left in awe of his contribution.
“At first, I asked myself if he’s truly from this planet because he hadn’t delivered such an impressive performance before,” Modrić said in the post-match press conference. “But when all hope seemed lost, he really stood for us. I’m happy for him and also have a special gift for him as the captain.”
