The Croatian insists he knew it’d be difficult at the beginning, but never doubted his abilities.

He said:”I didn’t. I knew I was coming to the world’s biggest club. The demand was high. I didn’t start well, but I never doubted myself. I knew I would succeed. It was very clear.”

Modric added that he is hoping to retire at Santiago Bernabeu, and is still looking to win more silverware at the club.
