"Dear Madridistas,
The moment has come. A moment I never wanted to arrive, but one that is a part of football and life, where everything has a beginning and an end… I will play my last match at Santiago Bernabéu on Saturday.
I came in 2012 with the dream of wearing the jersey of the best team in the world and the desire to achieve great things, but I could never have imagined what would happen next. Playing for Real Madrid has changed my life both as a player and as a person.
I am proud to be part of one of the brightest periods in the history of the most successful club.
I thank the club with all my heart, especially President Florentino Pérez, my teammates, my coaches, and everyone who has helped me during this journey…
Over these years, I have experienced incredible moments; comebacks that seemed impossible, finals, celebrations, and magical nights at the Bernabéu… We won everything, and I was very happy. I was truly very, very happy.
But beyond the trophies and victories we have won, I carry the love of the fans in my heart. I really don’t know how to explain the special bond that has been created between us. I have always felt supported, respected, and loved. I will never forget every applause and all the loving gestures you have shown me.
I am leaving with a heart full of emotions. Proud, grateful, and filled with unforgettable memories… Even though I will not wear this jersey on the field again after the Club World Cup, I will always remain a Madridista.
We will meet again. Real Madrid will always be my home. Forever.
Still Madrid.
Luka Modric"
