Being a professional footballer is one of the
most demanding jobs on the planet. Not only are you to required be in unbelievable shape, physically, but it also demands you to have unmatchable mental strength. Some clubs demand more than others, and Real Madrid, for better or worse, demand the most.

Flying in from England, adapting to new surroundings, picking up a new style of play, and being tagged as the worst signing of the season only 4 months after coming to the country — 2012 wasn't easy on the Croat. Our disastrous campaign didn't help either, even though he managed to give us glimpses of his quality, time and again.

However, in time, the bad days started to fade, and Luka Modric emerged as one of our most dominant midfielders. Between 2013 and 2018, the midfielder bagged 10 major team accolades and was handed the Ballon d'Or — a fitting tribute to the epitome of persistence.

Last season, he struggled to make his mark as we huffed and puffed to a Champions League finish. This term, battling against the biological clock, he'll once again try to emerge victorious. It's an uphill climb, for sure, but would you really want to bet against Real Madrid's tenacious number 10? Should you?

Have a great life ahead
