Modric’s message read;
“Dear Madridistas, This moment has arrived. The moment I never wanted to come, but this is football, and everything in life has a beginning and an end.
“On Saturday, I will play my last game at the Santiago Bernabéu. I arrived in 2012 dreaming of wearing the shirt of the best team in the world and with the ambition to achieve great things, but I couldn’t even imagine everything that followed.
“Playing for Real Madrid changed my life, both as a footballer and as a person. I am proud to have been part of one of the most successful eras in the history of the greatest club.”
