Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric plays down the Cristiano Ronaldo controversy-“ he sent me a message to congratulate me”.
“Cristiano sent me a message to congratulate me,” Modric said, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport.
“We are and will remain friends.”
The Juventus striker didn’t attend the Champions League draw last week, where Modric beat him to the Player of the Year award.
