Very generous, Luka Modric spares no effort to see those around him in good conditions.
Real Madrid faces Liverpool on Wednesday evening at Anfield in the 5e day of the league stage of the UEFA Champions League. But a great action from Luka Modric, midfielder of the White House, goes around the web. Winner of the 2018 Ballon d'Or, the Croatian had to take out the prestigious individual prize to bring a smile to the face of a sick young footballer.
Ivan Scepina will never forget Modric's gesture
A very good, unexpected gesture that floods social networks. Aged 18, Ivan Scepina is a young footballer from MNE Kurilovec, a Croatian third division club. The young man fell five meters from the roof of his house. Seriously injured, with a fractured skull, dislocation of the jaw and partial paralysis, Scepina has been hospitalized since last June. If a prize pool of 250,000 euros was raised to help finance his treatment, the young player was also able to count on an unforgettable gesture from Luka Modric.
Indeed, the 2018 world vice-champion sent his Ballon d'Or to the young player so that he could take a few photos with the distinction. “I wanted him to have it (the Golden Ball) for a while. They were able to take a photo with him and maybe that will help him stay strong during his recovery. In this difficult situation, it was the least I could do”said the Real Madrid midfielder, according to comments reported by Croatian media.
