Croatian national team midfielder Luka Modric, 38, shared his thoughts with AS about 16-year-old Spanish national team forward Lamine Yamal ahead of their meeting in the 1st round of Euro 2024.
The match between the national teams from Group B will take place on June 15 at Berlin's Olympiastadion and will kick off at 19:00 GMT+3.
A 22-year gap with Yamal? When I hear things like that, I feel very old. Years don't matter much; what counts is what's shown on the field. Everyone sees a great threat in him. He has a brilliant career ahead of him.
