What Toni Kroos said to Luka Modrić during hug after final home Real Madrid appearance | OneFootball

The details of the message sent the way of Luka Modrić by Toni Kroos on the back of the former’s final home outing in the colours of Real Madrid has been forthcoming online.

Midfielder Modrić, of course, took his place front and centre in the headlines across all of Spain on Saturday afternoon.

This came after the Croatian took to the pitch at the Santiago Bernabéu for the very last time in the colours of Real Madrid.

After it was announced that Modrić will not be offered an extension to his expiring contract terms, the 39-year-old is primed to depart on a free transfer after the Club World Cup.

Boss Carlo Ancelotti, in turn, was sure to afford Modrić his special moment on Saturday, hauling the former Tottenham man off late on in a 2-0 Blancos triumph over Real Sociedad.

As much gave rise to a guard of honour on the part of both sets of players, before Modrić was greeted by his family and teammates on the touchline.

Also present, meanwhile, was former teammate and midfield partner Toni Kroos, who pulled Modrić in for a warm embrace upon his departure from the pitch.

And as alluded to above, since, an insight into precisely what Kroos told his former friend during their hug has been forthcoming.

As gathered by lip readers online, the German is understood to have stated:

“I’m so proud of you… Enjoy, enjoy the moment. Enjoy my friend.”
