Luka Modric Feels Ashamed After Croatia's 7-0 Loss to England

Luka Modric, the captain of Croatia and midfielder for AC Milan, expressed feelings of shame following his team's 7-0 defeat to England in the Nations League. This loss, described by Modric as a "catastrophic night," was particularly poignant as it marked the first time in his 20-year international career that he felt such emotion.

Modric, who was making his 205th appearance for Croatia, recently agreed to extend his international career under the management of Slaven Bilic. He criticized the team's performance, stating, “You can’t play football like that… we looked like we had four or five players less.” Croatia had previously started Bilic’s second spell in charge with a 2-1 victory against the Czech Republic, followed by a 4-1 loss to world champions Spain.

Despite these results, Croatia was level on points with England before the humiliating defeat in Rijeka.
