Luka Modric believes that Barcelona can succeed without Lionel Messi, taking the example of Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure from Real Madrid.
Zinedine Zidane’s team won La Liga last season, the biggest trophy they have won since Ronaldo’s departure to Juventus in 2018.
Real has also won the Spanish Super Cup.
Overall, after CR7’s departure, Real have won three trophies.
Modric knows what player Barcelona is losing, but believes they will find their way to triumph with other players who would shine according to him in the absence of Leo.
“It would be a great loss. Same as Ronaldo’s departure. But you can not think about the past. “This is football and you have nothing to do with it,” Modric told AFP.
“If it happens, it will be a great loss for the prestige of the league. But we must move forward. “Other players will become stars.” “When Ronaldo left, the same thing happened, but Real Madrid continued without him, it will be the same with Barcelona and La Liga without Messi.”
