Luka Modric bid an emotional farewell to the Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday night, marking what may be his final appearance at the iconic stadium. After the match, the Croatian legend took a moment to reflect on the most unforgettable memories of his illustrious career with Real Madrid.

When asked which match at the Bernabéu he would never forget, Modric paused, visibly moved: "Wow... Just at the Bernabéu or in general?" he responded with a smile. "There were so many incredible games. I don’t even know where to begin."

But one match quickly came to mind—the unforgettable Champions League Round of 16 clash against Paris Saint-Germain in March 2022. "If I have to choose one... it’s PSG," Modric said. "Because I told myself: ‘If we win this game, we’ll win the Champions League.’ And that’s exactly what happened."

That magical night—where Real Madrid mounted a stunning comeback to eliminate PSG—marked the start of their journey to the 14th Champions League title, and remains one of the most iconic moments in recent club history.

Modric’s words are a testament to his deep connection with the club—not just through trophies, but through the unforgettable moments he helped create under the bright lights of the Bernabéu.
