Many believed that Luka Modric would quit the Croatian national team after the summer's European Championship. But that's not the case.

The midfield legend, who turns 39 years old next month, was selected on Monday for the Nations League matches against Portugal and Poland.

We are all happy that our captain, Luka Modric, is still with us. He is an enormous asset both on and off the pitch, says national team coach Zlatko Dalic according to NTB.

For Croatia, the summer's European Championship in Germany was a tough tournament. The team was eliminated already in the group stage. But Modric still doesn't see an end to his long and successful career. Ahead of the season with his club team Real Madrid, he extended his contract until June 30, 2025.
