by time news

At a press conference, Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti praised the “incredible qualities” of his player Luka Modric and joked hoping “to be invited to the 37-year-old” from the Croatian midfielder.

Luka Modric, who turns 37 on Friday, will be one of Real Madrid’s captains for his return to the Champions League on Tuesday (9:00 p.m.) at Celtic Glasgow, and will have to assume his rank of “best midfielder in Europe” , as Carlo Ancelotti described it at a press conference on Monday.

“There is no explanation. He is a fantastic player, with incredible qualities. He is lucky to have never had a major injury in his career. At 37, he is still one of the best midfielders we have in Europe,” Ancelotti assured on Monday. “He’s going to have a big party for his 37th birthday, and I hope I’ll be invited,” joked “Carletto” before leaving the Celtic Park press conference room on Monday evening.

While Real Madrid inherited a rather favorable group, with Celtic, Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk, the Italian technician refutes: “It’s not an easy group. There will be surprises. Like last year with the Sheriff,” recalled Ancelotti. “We will fight until the end, and I hope we will fight in the final,” concluded the technician.
